Louder with Crowder - #68 Socialism SUCKS! Ben Shapiro and Tim Kennedy | Louder With Crowder

00:00:00.000 You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet, by Politics.

00:00:20.000 Civility?

00:00:21.000 How about honesty in this country, folks?

00:00:23.000 Entertainment.

00:00:24.000 I don't like entertainment!

00:00:26.000 And a whole bunch of other stuff.

00:00:29.000 It's about having a healthy body image.

00:00:31.000 You have a very unhealthy body.

00:00:32.000 You should have a horrible body image. 0.96

00:00:33.000 Not a big home improvement market, Detroit.

00:00:36.000 We are definitely going to get letters.

00:00:38.000 You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. 0.97

00:00:42.000 You're a strange animal. 0.95

00:00:45.000 That's what I know. 0.99

00:00:46.000 You're getting louder with Crowder. 0.99

00:00:50.000 But you're a strange animal. 0.88

00:00:52.000 I've got to follow. 0.95

00:00:55.000 Oh, I'm in the speedy to sound.

00:01:01.000 And that sound means...

00:01:04.000 That sound means it's the weekend.

00:01:06.000 I am your host of the show, Lada with Crowder.

00:01:08.000 Stephen Crowder producing with me in studio.

00:01:11.000 If you're listening to Rest Strelia, one of our wonderful affiliates producing with me in studio, as always, is NotGayJarred.

00:01:18.000 You can follow him at Twitter at NotGayJarred.

00:01:20.000 He is not gay. 0.55

00:01:21.000 I fulfill my legal obligations, and you can draw your own conclusions.

00:01:23.000 Are we good?

00:01:24.000 Good.

00:01:25.000 Good. 0.52

00:01:25.000 Another day and still not gay. 0.52

00:01:27.000 Did you plan that rhyme? 0.56

00:01:29.000 No, I didn't plan on that.

00:01:30.000 But it worked out well.

00:01:31.000 It worked out well.

00:01:32.000 It worked out really well.

00:01:33.000 Sometimes you just fall backwards into things that work for you.

00:01:36.000 Sometimes you fall forwards into things that turn out okay, too.

00:01:39.000 Back to you, Stephen.

00:01:40.000 Okay.

00:01:40.000 Thank you very much.

00:01:41.000 And, man, what a show do we have.

00:01:44.000 We have quite the shindig for you this evening.

00:01:46.000 It's going to be good.

00:01:47.000 Ben Shapiro coming on.

00:01:49.000 Or this morning.

00:01:50.000 Don't know when he'll listen to this.

00:01:51.000 This evening, morning, depending on when you're listening to this.

00:01:54.000 You could be in China.

00:01:54.000 I don't know.

00:01:54.000 You could be in China.

00:01:55.000 By the way, if you're in China, you guys have some problems.

00:01:59.000 I mean, listen.

00:02:01.000 I know it's a homogenous culture, but there are still billions of them.

00:02:04.000 It's like World War Z at a certain point. 0.62

00:02:06.000 They're just going over that wall and they just become human stairs.

00:02:10.000 I don't want to throw China under the bus. 1.00

00:02:12.000 We're talking about the zombies still. 0.97

00:02:13.000 No, we're talking about the Chinese.

00:02:15.000 But I repeat myself.

00:02:16.000 What?

00:02:17.000 What?

00:02:18.000 Racism in the very first segment!

00:02:19.000 How great is this?

00:02:21.000 So...

00:02:22.000 We have Ben Shapiro, the world's favorite, snarkiest Jew. 1.00

00:02:26.000 Great guy.

00:02:27.000 Gotta love.

00:02:27.000 Gotta love the Jewish Ben Shapiro.

00:02:29.000 And Tim Kennedy.

00:02:30.000 So contrast, you have Ben Shapiro, intellectual, not necessarily confused as a tough guy.

00:02:35.000 And then Tim Kennedy, UFC, top contender, former Army Ranger, host of...

00:02:42.000 Killing Hitler?

00:02:42.000 Hunting Hitler?

00:02:43.000 Hunting Hitler.

00:02:44.000 Hunting Hitler.

00:02:46.000 And then, of course, Courtney Scoffs, our wonderful editor.

00:02:50.000 By the way, Courtney, if she's listening or watching, thank you so much.

00:02:53.000 She had a vacation.

00:02:54.000 I know she was burnt out.

00:02:55.000 And things would not work at ladderwithcreditor.com without the team of Courtney.

00:03:01.000 Of course, our McBrody.

00:03:03.000 Casey is the newest one, and she is just great.

00:03:05.000 And she had to make her Twitter private because everyone was hitting on her in ways that were sexually just wildly inappropriate. 0.56

00:03:12.000 But they meant to be complimentary.

00:03:13.000 The Internet's a very bizarre place.

00:03:16.000 And I don't know if I'm missing anybody.

00:03:19.000 No, I think that covers it.

00:03:20.000 I think you need to send the weird compliments to me.

00:03:23.000 I would take those over, you know.

00:03:25.000 No, you weren't on a thank you list.

00:03:27.000 Notice you didn't get a Christmas card.

00:03:28.000 You're just calling for my firing, which is usually appropriate. 1.00

00:03:31.000 Usually appropriate.

00:03:32.000 We had a problem with this stream even starting today.

00:03:32.000 Usually fair.

00:03:35.000 So, a lot has happened this week.

00:03:37.000 It sounds to me like I'm in a fishbowl.

00:03:39.000 Is there something going on?

00:03:40.000 It sounds like me too, but I think it's just your voice.

00:03:42.000 For some reason, it sounds like the studio, maybe it isn't padded or something like usual.

00:03:46.000 I don't know what that is.

00:03:47.000 Well, the duct tape doesn't hold up as well.

00:03:50.000 The duct tape doesn't hold up as well.

00:03:51.000 No, they keep in the phone.

00:03:52.000 Anyway, a lot of news this week.

00:03:52.000 Oh, right.

00:03:53.000 Wisconsin coming up.

00:03:54.000 That's going to be big by the time you're listening to this and you're hearing this.

00:03:58.000 And some numbers came out.

00:04:00.000 So we have a few stories.

00:04:01.000 One that I find hilarious, and we have up at ladderwithcrowder.com.

00:04:05.000 An employee at a university grabbed and manhandled a student for cultural appropriation.

00:04:13.000 For those of you who do not know, it means that something is racist.

00:04:18.000 I'm kind of a big deal.

00:04:20.000 It's a big deal for people in our generation.

00:04:22.000 And the cultural appropriation was this white kid was wearing dreadlocks. 0.52

00:04:27.000 Apparently this girl had never seen a Korn music video.

00:04:30.000 Like, that's all it was on MTV in the early 2000s, was really bad guitaring and just swinging of dreadlocks.

00:04:36.000 In defense of the...

00:04:38.000 Dreadlocks on a white dude, just...

00:04:40.000 Dreadlocks on anybody don't look good.

00:04:43.000 Bob Marley, they look worse on...

00:04:45.000 They look bad on Bob Marley.

00:04:46.000 Bob Marley has dreadlocks.

00:04:47.000 You associate it with him.

00:04:48.000 If Bob Marley had any other haircut, including the Burger King Kids Club, House Party, High and Tight, he'd still look better.

00:04:55.000 Dreadlocks look awful. 0.98

00:04:57.000 And I don't think you can wash them very effectively.

00:04:59.000 Anyway, so that's a story.

00:05:00.000 We'll talk about that later on.

00:05:01.000 A girl was pepper sprayed at a Trump rally.

00:05:04.000 15-year-old girl, pepper sprayed.

00:05:04.000 Awful.

00:05:07.000 But the media lied to you, said that someone had groped her, and then they pepper sprayed her.

00:05:07.000 Terrible.

00:05:11.000 No one groped her.

00:05:13.000 From what we know now, at the recording of this broadcast, and she did full-line sucker punch somebody, and then someone pepper sprayed her.

00:05:19.000 So, it's just ugliness all around, all around the world, all across the American political spectrum.

00:05:26.000 You know, in this studio, thank God you people never actually have to set foot in this studio.

00:05:32.000 The immune system that we both have, not Gay Jared and I, and living in such close proximity with each other, we would be marvels of science.

00:05:40.000 If you could just take a skin graft and put it in a Petri dish.

00:05:43.000 The first thing I wanted to lead with, though, is Obamacare.

00:05:47.000 These new numbers came out.

00:05:48.000 Now, we've been talking about this for a long time.

00:05:49.000 I hate to do the I told you so, but I love doing the I told you so.

00:05:53.000 So a new report came out, and this also ties into Ted Cruz, who was on with Jimmy Kimmel, we'll talk about later, where I have a quote right here.

00:06:01.000 Obamacare enrollees are sicker than those covered before the law.

00:06:05.000 Backers see this as good news because it means those needing coverage are getting it, but it's actually a sign of an impending death spiral, not a good sign.

00:06:12.000 When you use death spiral.

00:06:13.000 A new report from Blue Cross Blue Shield finds that those who signed up for Obamacare in 2014 and 2015 had higher rates of various diseases and used significantly more medical services in their first year of coverage.

00:06:27.000 They go on to say, but to work, Obamacare had to bring in young and healthy people to offset the costs of the older and sicker to keep insurance premiums down.

00:06:34.000 Otherwise, the market would enter into a death spiral where high premiums with more healthy people would drive healthy people out of the market, pushing rates up further.

00:06:39.000 This is exactly what's happened where Obamacare has been implemented.

00:06:43.000 Which is crazy when you think...

00:06:45.000 And this is what leftists knew would happen.

00:06:46.000 I talked about this a long time ago.

00:06:48.000 No one else really cared to...

00:06:50.000 Anthony Weiner.

00:06:51.000 I know.

00:06:51.000 Let's get...

00:06:52.000 Grow up.

00:06:54.000 Grow up. 0.99

00:06:57.000 Anthony Penis, he got an exemption for Obamacare.

00:07:01.000 A lot of these leftists got their districts or got their voting constituency, they got them exempt.

00:07:09.000 So they supported Obamacare.

00:07:10.000 We had to know it was in the bill to pass it.

00:07:12.000 So Anthony Weiner, I just say because it's a name that sticks in your mind because his last name is a synonym for a donager.

00:07:16.000 So you know Anthony Weiner.

00:07:17.000 If I name you some other congressman or senator, you might not remember the name.

00:07:22.000 But Anthony Weiner, the guy who got caught showing his Weiner.

00:07:25.000 Grow up.

00:07:28.000 Got an exemption for Obamacare.

00:07:30.000 Now, if you look at their justification, it was because they understood the costs.

00:07:33.000 Hillary Clinton has said that she may enact an executive order to stop the crushing costs of Obamacare.

00:07:41.000 Premiums have gone up 49%.

00:07:44.000 Deductibles...

00:07:44.000 Now, usually, if you pay a higher premium, you would expect a lower deductible, right?

00:07:47.000 With Obamacare, that was a promise.

00:07:49.000 No.

00:07:49.000 Premiums have gone up an average of 49%.

00:07:51.000 By the way, that's a very broad number.

00:07:54.000 For most people who are working and had an average plan, if you're middle-aged, it's gone up much more than that.

00:08:00.000 But at least 49%.

00:08:01.000 All the sources at LauderwithCreditor.com, deductibles have skyrocketed.

00:08:04.000 For many people, doubled or tripled.

00:08:06.000 People are getting less for their health care than ever with this.

00:08:12.000 And this goes back to fundamental economics.

00:08:14.000 This is why I did the video on why democratic socialism doesn't work.

00:08:17.000 What do you think is going to happen?

00:08:19.000 You're basically forcing insurance.

00:08:20.000 Insurance companies are making a bet, right?

00:08:23.000 What they're saying is, okay, if we have X amount of people, let's say we have X amount of people paying $200 a month.

00:08:28.000 And their deductible is $5,000.

00:08:31.000 We know that if we charge this amount, we'll have enough people, and most of them will not use their deductible, therefore we will make X amount of profit.

00:08:37.000 That's how their business model works.

00:08:38.000 It's very, very mathematical, tight.

00:08:41.000 There's nothing sexy about it.

00:08:43.000 And then the government comes in and says, no, you have to cover everyone.

00:08:46.000 They say, well, hold on, our math doesn't allow for people who eat a diet of Snickers and fried Oreos and then dessert.

00:08:54.000 Coming on to our health care plan with diabetes and gout.

00:08:58.000 Gout's still a thing.

00:08:59.000 It's still a thing, but it doesn't really come from, most people aren't getting it from iron-rich food. 0.93

00:09:04.000 They're getting it from being fat-ass obese.

00:09:06.000 A lot of people are getting gout. 0.87

00:09:07.000 So saying we didn't account for this and that government says, well, you can't deny these people for preexisting conditions.

00:09:13.000 Now, I understand that a lot of insurance companies were denying people for pre, you know, like, well, listen, you cracked, your knuckles are cracking, we can't accept you.

00:09:20.000 I understand that, and insurance companies are terrible.

00:09:22.000 This entire law was a big kickback to the insurance companies.

00:09:25.000 So, again, their business is betting.

00:09:28.000 It's betting on health.

00:09:29.000 And now you have thrust into their risk pool a bunch of people who are unhealthy, a bunch of people who everyone else has to subsidize.

00:09:39.000 So this is where we are.

00:09:41.000 Anyone who understands basic economics knew this is what was going to happen.

00:09:43.000 This is what Republicans said would happen.

00:09:45.000 This is what conservatives said would happen.

00:09:46.000 This is what's happened in Canada.

00:09:47.000 This is what's happened in all these democratic socialist countries that Bernie Sanders loves to praise.

00:09:52.000 It's just a matter of time.

00:09:54.000 It's a ticking time bomb.

00:09:56.000 And just like we talked about, John Stossel talked about this, when you have insurance and now you have a lot of young people who get the subsidized insurance, you get whatever you want.

00:10:05.000 Like you're saying, sick people, but they're using a bunch of services that maybe they don't even need.

00:10:09.000 Ah, the back of my neck hurts.

00:10:10.000 I'm going to go in and get an MRI. Ah, I don't know.

00:10:15.000 My toe hurts.

00:10:16.000 I think I might have gout.

00:10:17.000 Although, if you're 420 pounds, you might have gout.

00:10:20.000 That's actually not frivolous.

00:10:23.000 I'd get it checked out.

00:10:24.000 Completely reasonable.

00:10:25.000 It's completely reasonable for the 400-pound guy with a sore toe to think he might have gout.

00:10:30.000 So I don't want to speak out of turn.

00:10:33.000 As I often do.

00:10:37.000 The point is, we all saw this coming.

00:10:39.000 And you were told, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:10:41.000 This is not true.

00:10:41.000 This is going to be great.

00:10:43.000 And something that's really important, and we've talked about this, same thing with unemployment.

00:10:46.000 Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have said, Barack Obama's great for unemployment.

00:10:50.000 The unemployment rate is low.

00:10:51.000 The economy is recovering.

00:10:52.000 They say that when he's in office, right?

00:10:54.000 But when they're running, they say it's over 11%.

00:10:58.000 Yep.

00:10:59.000 Why?

00:11:00.000 Because it's one thing to lie.

00:11:01.000 At that point, when you're in office, you're lying to the press.

00:11:04.000 It's a PR thing.

00:11:06.000 But when you need to gain votes, at some point you have to be honest with people.

00:11:10.000 And that's just such a blatant lie.

00:11:11.000 If you say, well, employment is low.

00:11:12.000 No.

00:11:13.000 You know it's bad.

00:11:14.000 And so, well, it's 11%.

00:11:15.000 Here's how I'm going to fix it for you.

00:11:17.000 Because, you know, this hero worship with politics.

00:11:19.000 Well, it's the same thing with the, you know, the jobs are doing great, the economy's booming, but Wall Street's really screwing people right now, and no one's getting any money.

00:11:28.000 It's rigged and going downhill when they want to go downhill, and it's going uphill when it benefits them for the reports.

00:11:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:35.000 And then they bitch about how wages haven't gone up, right?

00:11:39.000 Who's been at the tiller?

00:11:40.000 Like Bernie Sanders, people who vote Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton to fix our problems?

00:11:45.000 You're like 10-second Tom.

00:11:47.000 You can't remember the last seven years.

00:11:50.000 It's been them!

00:11:52.000 We'll be back.

00:11:53.000 We'll talk cultural appropriation.

00:11:54.000 Stay tuned.

00:13:23.000 Trump, what are you... 1.00

00:13:23.000 Come over here, you little s***! 1.00

00:13:26.000 Coy, Coy, grab his legs. 1.00

00:13:27.000 Coy, grab his legs. 1.00

00:13:30.000 Oh, Mom!

00:13:31.000 Okay, who wants...

00:13:32.000 Oh, my God! 0.99

00:13:34.000 You people are animals! 0.99

00:13:35.000 Hey, he started it. 1.00

00:13:37.000 We'll keep you at rest.

00:13:40.000 I can't clap.

00:14:02.000 I want to clap to that song, but I can't because it'll blow out the microphone.

00:14:05.000 It's true.

00:14:06.000 It's a clap-worthy song, though.

00:14:08.000 You should know that.

00:14:08.000 It is a clap-worthy song.

00:14:09.000 I love it all.

00:14:10.000 Alright.

00:14:11.000 I love OutKast.

00:14:13.000 You know, on AM Radio, we had a lot of...

00:14:15.000 By the way, a wonderful affiliate.

00:14:17.000 We're very grateful.

00:14:39.000 Hello, Linda.

00:14:41.000 She doesn't listen to this show. 0.99

00:14:42.000 She never listens.

00:14:44.000 The people who started our show, they don't even listen.

00:14:45.000 I don't even think they like us.

00:14:47.000 They don't like us.

00:14:48.000 If you like us, Linda, text me right now.

00:14:50.000 If you like us, text us.

00:14:53.000 Or tweet us.

00:14:54.000 I don't have that much time on my hands.

00:14:59.000 You know what?

00:15:00.000 Yeah, let's just send an email.

00:15:00.000 Send an email.

00:15:02.000 Send an email to Jared, and then I'll get back to you.

00:15:05.000 Gosh, there's so much that happened this week.

00:15:07.000 Zuckerberg thinks we can fight ISIS through love.

00:15:13.000 It's true.

00:15:14.000 I'm not making this up.

00:15:15.000 Can we volunteer for the front lines?

00:15:17.000 I would love that.

00:15:18.000 The Obamacare numbers, the last, the town halls.

00:15:21.000 Worse?

00:15:22.000 How could they get any worse?

00:15:24.000 Take a look around you, Ellen.

00:15:26.000 We're at the threshold of hell!

00:15:27.000 You know what else?

00:15:28.000 Did you hear about Sarah Palin's new show?

00:15:30.000 Is there a new one?

00:15:31.000 No, no, no.

00:15:31.000 You haven't heard this?

00:15:32.000 No.

00:15:33.000 Sarah Palin...

00:15:37.000 Sarah Palin's going to be like a Judge Judy. 1.00

00:15:39.000 Are you serious?

00:15:40.000 Despite no legal experience, they're going to show up and she is going to settle up.

00:15:44.000 Right wing and bitter cling and can I get a hallelujah?

00:15:49.000 That should be her theme song.

00:15:52.000 At least in between the commercials and such.

00:15:54.000 I want to like Sarah Palin, but she makes it hard. 0.85

00:15:57.000 She doesn't want me to like her.

00:15:59.000 She does not want America. 0.71

00:16:02.000 Well, she doesn't want you to like her.

00:16:03.000 Nobody wants you to like them.

00:16:05.000 Me, America.

00:16:06.000 You are not an approval they seek.

00:16:09.000 No.

00:16:10.000 Okay, before we get to Zuckerberg ISIS, we're going to have Shapiro on next because there's been a development in Donald Trump-Michelle Field's situation.

00:16:16.000 I know people are all on different sides of that, and I'll try and hold Ben's feet to the fire and get to the bottom of it and see what the truth is.

00:16:24.000 Yeah, listen, I'm not a Trump guy, and Ben and I have known each other for a long time.

00:16:28.000 I think that this has been mishandled by all sides.

00:16:31.000 So we'll try and be fair, but I know many of you will still bitch that it's not fair.

00:16:35.000 One thing I want to talk about before we get into all this news is the idea, and you talked about this, justice versus equality is very important.

00:16:43.000 I think a lot of people don't understand.

00:16:45.000 Justice versus fairness.

00:16:46.000 Justice versus fairness, because Bernie Sanders now, a lot of people don't realize he's picking up a lot of steam.

00:16:50.000 He's gaining a lot of ground on Hillary. 0.98

00:16:52.000 Is it likely that he wins?

00:16:53.000 No.

00:16:54.000 But he is doing far, far better than anybody predicted.

00:16:58.000 And that's on this promise of fairness and distribution and getting your fair share.

00:17:04.000 People in our generation really seem to place, and if you look at the Pew Research Polls, place an emphasis on fairness.

00:17:11.000 And someone is, why is my computer on right now?

00:17:15.000 Oh, I guess I'll talk about this later.

00:17:17.000 My wife is texting me during the show, and she should never be texting me during the show. 0.98

00:17:20.000 She should always stop.

00:17:22.000 Unless she's saying that she likes us.

00:17:24.000 No, no, that's enough of that.

00:17:25.000 Email.

00:17:26.000 Email Hillary.

00:17:27.000 Email it.

00:17:30.000 Fairness and justice aren't really the same thing.

00:17:32.000 You know, we talked about this as a Christian.

00:17:33.000 God is just, but life isn't fair.

00:17:36.000 And a lot of people say, well, what do you mean by that?

00:17:38.000 Listen, I certainly think that as a society it is much more, well, not much more important, it's pivotal that we place importance on justice, not fairness.

00:17:46.000 Certainly not fairness of outcomes.

00:17:48.000 That's what leftists believe in promising.

00:17:50.000 Let me give you an example of justice versus equality.

00:17:54.000 You're laughing because you know this story.

00:17:55.000 So I was a kid in French-Canadian school, okay?

00:17:59.000 This is a true story.

00:18:00.000 And this is where I learned as a kid that fairness and political correctness, it corrodes the soul.

00:18:07.000 Monsieur Lecaire was my teacher.

00:18:09.000 Must have been second grade.

00:18:11.000 And my dad worked for a company called Edessa.

00:18:15.000 I don't know what they did.

00:18:16.000 Something with cars.

00:18:16.000 And one of the things is he had these nice pens.

00:18:19.000 He had a bunch of pens, Edessa, and my dad's name was on the pens.

00:18:22.000 So he opened up my desk in my class and I had a bunch of Edessa pens.

00:18:25.000 And it said, you know, Darren Crowder.

00:18:27.000 So I had those and there was this kid.

00:18:29.000 I don't want to name names.

00:18:30.000 Daniel Cuffling.

00:18:31.000 We became friends later on, and he stole my pens.

00:18:34.000 He took my pens.

00:18:36.000 I said, where are my pens?

00:18:36.000 And then I look over, lo and behold, Daniel Cuffling is writing with a pen with my dad's name on it.

00:18:41.000 I go, hey, that's my pen.

00:18:43.000 No.

00:18:44.000 I said, come on, it's clearly my pen, my dad's name.

00:18:46.000 Does your dad work for an American company?

00:18:48.000 Is your dad's last name Crowder?

00:18:50.000 And we got into a fight over it.

00:18:52.000 We were yelling.

00:18:53.000 I escalated it.

00:18:54.000 Probably a little too quickly.

00:18:55.000 That's just how I was.

00:18:56.000 And the teacher comes in and says, what's going on?

00:18:59.000 And Daniel says, well, he's yelling and saying that I stole his pen.

00:19:02.000 I said, he did steal my pen.

00:19:03.000 And the teacher goes, well, who's telling the truth?

00:19:06.000 I said, I'm telling the truth.

00:19:08.000 My dad's name is on that pen.

00:19:10.000 There's five more pens that I have with my dad's name on that pen.

00:19:12.000 You can find them in his desk.

00:19:14.000 And the teacher goes, can you two work this out with your words without fighting?

00:19:19.000 And I told the teacher, I said, I don't need to work this out.

00:19:22.000 Your job is to make sure that people stop stealing pens.

00:19:26.000 I don't know if you notice, it's a problem here in your classroom.

00:19:29.000 Broken window theory.

00:19:30.000 Let's fix the pens before everyone starts getting their pens stolen. 1.00

00:19:33.000 Teacher goes, well, if you can't work this out with words, nobody gets the pens.

00:19:37.000 And took them away.

00:19:41.000 They had my dad's name on the pen.

00:19:44.000 And my dad's company, they were clearly stolen pens.

00:19:48.000 And the teacher said, well, if you can't work it out, what's fair is nobody gets the pen.

00:19:52.000 Now, that was fairness, but that was not justice.

00:19:56.000 And what does that tell you, right?

00:19:59.000 It places a lot more burden on the person who's telling the truth, on the person who's not breaking the law, whether it's someone abusing welfare, tweeting, bitching about how they need their fair share from their smartphone while they have welfare.

00:20:10.000 By the way, if you're on welfare, okay, and you're using it and you're tweeting, you should be put on mute.

00:20:14.000 I don't care what you have to say. 0.92

00:20:16.000 Your bitching is irrelevant. 1.00

00:20:19.000 All Daniel needed to say is, well, it's my pen too.

00:20:22.000 Because he knew it was a lie, and he knew it didn't matter at that point.

00:20:26.000 Burden of proof was even though he knew I was telling the truth.

00:20:29.000 That's what that favors.

00:20:31.000 When you just talk about fairness and feelings and making sure that everybody leaves feeling good, the successful person, the person who didn't commit the wrong, ends up getting screwed.

00:20:41.000 This is a perfect example.

00:20:42.000 It was my pen that was stolen from my desk.

00:20:45.000 Kid took it.

00:20:46.000 Teacher saw my dad's name on the pen and said the name of Fairness!

00:20:49.000 No one gets the pen.

00:20:51.000 That's fairness.

00:20:52.000 That's leftism.

00:20:54.000 That's not justice.

00:20:56.000 And that's something that millennials need to understand.

00:20:58.000 That's something that anyone out there needs to understand.

00:21:00.000 Fairness and justice are not the same thing.

00:21:02.000 And when you play identity politics, and you play fairness, and you talk about fair share, and you throw it out without defining it, it inevitably favors the person who's willing to gain the system.

00:21:13.000 They're perfectly fine with screwing the other guy as long as they gain from it.

00:21:19.000 And I still never got that pen back.

00:21:22.000 Alright, I think we have to go to a break here pretty soon.

00:21:24.000 We have Ben Shapiro coming on.

00:21:26.000 At least he's calm.

00:21:27.000 We'll calm our nerves.

00:21:28.000 We'll talk about the Donald Trump-Michelle Fields and him with the Breitbart situation and hopefully get to the bottom of it.

00:21:35.000 I'm no Columbo.

00:21:35.000 I don't know.

00:21:36.000 But I think I can handle this and figure it out.

00:21:38.000 out.

00:21:38.000 Stay tuned.

00:21:39.000 Whoa, Jared, what are you doing? 1.00

00:21:55.000 Shoot bad guys! 0.98

00:21:57.000 With what? 1.00

00:21:57.000 AR-15! 1.00

00:21:58.000 Where'd you get it?

00:21:59.000 AR-15.com!

00:22:00.000 Oh, there's another one!

00:22:01.000 Kaboom! 0.99

00:22:02.000 You got him!

00:22:03.000 Thank God for AR-15.com!

00:22:03.000 Yeah!

00:22:05.000 They have AR-15 and accessories for sale and the best advice there is on the web!

00:22:09.000 Oh no, there's another one!

00:22:10.000 Kaboom! 0.99

00:22:11.000 You got him!

00:22:12.000 Yeah!

00:22:13.000 With your what?

00:22:14.000 AR-15!

00:22:15.000 From where?

00:22:15.000 AR-15.com!

00:22:16.000 That's the best place to go, and that's the takeaway, because this commercial's about to stop!

00:22:20.000 This is breaking news on Louder with Crowder, on...

00:22:37.000 I'm Perry Matheson.

00:22:38.000 We take you live now to a public town hall with Governor and Presidential Candidate John Kasuk.

00:22:46.000 Now, I'm really glad to be here, still running a positive campaign, and want to open the floor for questions.

00:22:55.000 So...

00:22:56.000 Yes, sir, you, back there.

00:23:00.000 You have a question?

00:23:04.000 Now, hey, that's uncalled for.

00:23:06.000 You're the same guy who was there in Ohio.

00:23:10.000 Wait, why have you got...

00:23:11.000 Security!

00:23:12.000 Hey, over there.

00:23:14.000 Security, what are you doing?

00:23:16.000 Yeah, I'm security.

00:23:22.000 Well, now, that just seems counterproductive.

00:23:26.000 You're both playing the same song. 1.00

00:23:29.000 You suck! 1.00

00:23:30.000 No, no, I would argue I don't. 1.00

00:23:33.000 I don't suck. 1.00

00:23:34.000 You suck, John Jason! 1.00

00:23:36.000 Well, that's not really a question. 1.00

00:23:38.000 Could you phrase it in the form of a question? 1.00

00:23:42.000 You suck? 1.00

00:23:45.000 We'll keep you abreast as this town hall unfolds. 1.00

00:23:48.000 For Loud Earth Grounder, I'm Harry Mahoghan.

00:24:02.000 Things that I wanna do I ain't got a thing to prove to you Alright, so glad to bring on this next guest.

00:24:21.000 We've had him before.

00:24:23.000 Longtime colleague, I guess we can say, of mine.

00:24:25.000 Chief editor of DailyWire.com.

00:24:27.000 You can follow him at Ben Shapiro.

00:24:29.000 He is somewhere on his college tour right now.

00:24:33.000 I think Chapel Hill.

00:24:34.000 When I asked Ben before the break, he said, I don't know Chapel Hill.

00:24:38.000 So you're getting Ben Shapiro with half brain power today.

00:24:40.000 Is that fair to say?

00:24:42.000 Yeah, I think that's pretty fair, which means that, you know, I'll take on three lefties instead of six at a time.

00:24:48.000 Well, yes, yes, that's pretty much what I figured.

00:24:51.000 Okay, so you have had a couple of weeks.

00:24:53.000 I mean, it's just a whirlwind of your college speaking.

00:24:57.000 Obviously, we can get right to it.

00:24:58.000 You know, we've talked about it on the program.

00:25:00.000 We have guests from the other side, the Michelle Fields incident, Donald Trump.

00:25:05.000 Firstly, how are you feeling about this?

00:25:07.000 Because as someone who's been in the conservative movement, I guess, since you were, what, 17?

00:25:12.000 Very young, syndicated columnist.

00:25:15.000 I get messages all the time, and you know this, from top people who are going, yeah, this is fractured friends, family.

00:25:20.000 What's it like right now for Ben Shapiro?

00:25:23.000 I mean, look, I'm used to receiving criticism, but what I'm not really used to receiving is accusations of being a leftist because I don't support a leftist like Donald Trump.

00:25:31.000 That one's kind of new to me.

00:25:32.000 Being called a social justice warrior because I don't think it's appropriate when a campaign manager grabs and bruises a woman's arm. 1.00

00:25:38.000 This is new stuff to me.

00:25:40.000 So that I find, you know, troubling and upsetting. 0.88

00:25:44.000 And, you know, it's never fun looking at your Twitter mentions and you have thousands and thousands of people calling you a cuckservative and a And a social justice warrior and photoshopping purple hair and a nose ring on you and all that kind of crap. 0.88

00:25:56.000 I do find funny, I do respect Ben for saying this, is that he was more offended by the purple hair than all the Nazi anti-Jew propaganda. 0.93

00:26:05.000 That doesn't even seem to bother him.

00:26:07.000 That doesn't bother me anymore. 0.99

00:26:08.000 You grow a thick skin with regard to the Nazi anti-Jew crap after a few weeks of this. 0.99

00:26:12.000 But the feminist photo shop, that's where Ben has his own life. 0.99

00:26:15.000 That's where I draw the line.

00:26:16.000 That's where I draw the line.

00:26:17.000 Once they stick the purple hair and the nose ring on me, I'm done.

00:26:20.000 I'm out.

00:26:21.000 And it's so accurate, too, when I went to the feminist film festival. 0.74

00:26:24.000 I was sitting there going, I mean, did they have a convention before the convention to agree on the outfits?

00:26:30.000 You know, the same vendor sits outside each one of those, just selling the same light sticks and glow sticks.

00:26:35.000 That's what I It's for the hair stuff.

00:26:38.000 Yeah, they do have a rule.

00:26:40.000 The rule is non-conformity through conformity.

00:26:42.000 Sort of like the Trumpkins rule, which is conservatism through non-conservatism.

00:26:46.000 Yeah, I mean, here's the one thing I will say, though.

00:26:48.000 I have more respect for people like Milo, a friend of ours, who says, listen, it has nothing to do with conservatism anymore.

00:26:54.000 I don't really care about the principles behind it.

00:26:56.000 People are mad, and we want to see him burn this down.

00:26:59.000 There are people who have said that.

00:27:01.000 I understand that.

00:27:02.000 It's not my belief, but that's very different, I think, from some of the mental gymnastics required for people who claimed to be I fully agree with this.

00:27:13.000 When Milo says that he doesn't think conservatism has achieved what its purpose was, if you want to admit who your man is and then say you're voting for him because of who he is, or even if you're voting for him because of who he isn't, he's not the establishment, so I want Trump.

00:27:27.000 That's at least a fair argument.

00:27:29.000 What I can't abide is if you oppose Donald Trump, then it must be because you're not a real conservative who doesn't care about the Constitution or conservatives. 1.00

00:27:37.000 That's just stupid. 1.00

00:27:38.000 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:27:38.000 It's just stupid. 1.00

00:27:39.000 And if you're going to defend Trump on the grounds that he's a decent, wonderful human being, I think that's equally stupid. 1.00

00:27:45.000 I don't think that he's a decent, wonderful human being. 1.00

00:27:47.000 Well, I think some people defend him on the grounds that they like that he's an ass, and that's what I'm saying. 0.99

00:27:50.000 Right, which is fine. 0.99

00:27:51.000 Exactly.

00:27:52.000 Fine argument.

00:27:53.000 He's an ass, and you can like him because of that. 1.00

00:27:56.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:27:56.000 There's a question as to whether it also makes you an ass, but that's at least an argument. 1.00

00:28:00.000 It's true. 1.00

00:28:00.000 Well, I think liking him because he's an ass is fine. 1.00

00:28:02.000 I think people liking him because they think he has a backbone is entirely misled, because I don't think Donald Trump has met an adversary that he's really taken head on. 0.99

00:28:11.000 So, okay, the Michelle Field situation.

00:28:13.000 Obviously, you've caught a lot of flack for this.

00:28:16.000 This is happening this week, right?

00:28:18.000 The video released, and there was the...

00:28:20.000 A couple things that need to be clarified.

00:28:21.000 You're a lawyer, so people need to understand that.

00:28:25.000 Battery is different from assault.

00:28:26.000 Simple battery is different from assault.

00:28:28.000 I've seen a lot of sites use it interchangeably.

00:28:30.000 That must frustrate you because it doesn't help the case.

00:28:34.000 Yes. 1.00

00:28:34.000 People are stupid. 1.00

00:28:35.000 Also, felony battery is different than simple battery. 1.00

00:28:38.000 Misdemeanor battery is not the same as felony battery.

00:28:40.000 People look up the law in the state of Florida.

00:28:43.000 All a simple battery is is an unwanted touching that is intentionally performed.

00:28:47.000 That's it.

00:28:48.000 That's the entire definition.

00:28:49.000 So, people who don't understand that, I can understand why they'd say, and as someone who has been at the receiving end of full-on violent assault, very different, we know, we were on the phone when that happened, I can understand people saying, oh, this is exaggerated.

00:29:01.000 Now, I think there are two components here.

00:29:03.000 There's your opinion on Michelle Field, someone's opinion as to whether it was exaggerated, and there is the law and what constitutes battery and what was said.

00:29:12.000 And then there's the real story here, which really has nothing to do with Michelle and has much more to do with the Trump campaign lying and smearing her. 0.95

00:29:20.000 And that's really the story here, because the fact is, if Corey Lewandowski just says, shouldn't have done that, my bad, apologizes within 24 hours instead of going on Twitter and calling Michelle a liar and an attention whore, then all of this is over immediately. 0.72

00:29:33.000 I mean, the reason she went and filed a police report... 0.97

00:29:35.000 Did he say attention whore? 0.99

00:29:36.000 He said attention seeker, and all of his followers said attention whore. 0.99

00:29:40.000 When you say attention seeker about a woman, everybody knows what you're talking about, essentially. 0.89

00:29:45.000 And so the idea here that the Trump campaign was pushing is that this was some sort of giant conspiracy to get Trump. 0.99

00:29:52.000 Which, if it was, it's the stupidest conspiracy in the history of the world. 0.88

00:29:56.000 I mean, your conspiracy is that you're going to go into a press room knowing that his campaign manager is going to grab you by the arm, pull you back, that you're going to happen to bump into a reporter from the Washington Post who saw the same thing, and that his campaign manager is then going to deny it, and Trump is going to deny it, even though there are cameras on them, right? 0.98

00:30:14.000 That's your giant conspiracy.

00:30:17.000 I mean, what a conspiracy it is.

00:30:18.000 I mean, boy, it's like the JFK assassination.

00:30:21.000 But Trump people think that's what this is.

00:30:24.000 I mean, they're watching this thing like the Zabruder tape going, well, you know, originally the case was she was never touched.

00:30:29.000 Then the case was, well, she was touched but not that hard. 0.99

00:30:31.000 And now you've got Trump out there like the utter dolt that he is. 0.99

00:30:34.000 I mean, this is not a man with high IQ. You have him out there saying things like that. 1.00

00:30:38.000 Everyone knows my IQ is the best.

00:30:41.000 We'll bring up that tweet.

00:30:42.000 That's actually what he said. 1.00

00:30:43.000 He also says he has a very good brain, which, by the way, no one with a very good brain in human history has ever said, because it makes you an idiot. 1.00

00:30:51.000 But Donald Trump says about Michelle Fields that, you know, there she is. 1.00

00:30:54.000 She was holding the Secret Service.

00:30:55.000 They were bothered by it.

00:30:56.000 She was holding, what was it?

00:30:57.000 Was it a pen?

00:30:58.000 Was it a knife?

00:30:59.000 It could have been a little bomb.

00:31:00.000 Yes, Donald.

00:31:01.000 I'm sure it was all of those things. 1.00

00:31:03.000 You bloviating sack of crap. 1.00

00:31:05.000 I mean, really. 1.00

00:31:06.000 It was like a reporter holding a pen.

00:31:09.000 And the Secret Service looks tremendously bothered by all of this in the tape.

00:31:13.000 I mean, it's not like they have training in dealing with actual threats.

00:31:17.000 You need Medal of Honor winner and Normandy hero Corey Lewandowski swooping in from behind to save the Republic by pulling Michelle Fields four feet back. 0.99

00:31:24.000 The key word for me, again, this is just the personal, is the from behind.

00:31:27.000 Same thing with the protester, grabbing the collar from behind.

00:31:30.000 He's looking at the protester and the rally, and nothing, nothing, nothing.

00:31:34.000 Guy reaches away and...

00:31:35.000 He's looking at Michelle Fields the whole time.

00:31:39.000 Nothing, nothing, nothing.

00:31:40.000 And then when she's turning away...

00:31:42.000 That, to me, is like, oh my gosh.

00:31:44.000 Just from a personal standpoint.

00:31:46.000 Listen, I'm a guy who believes that women ought to be treated differently than men.

00:31:51.000 If someone did that to my wife, it's different than if somebody does that to me.

00:31:53.000 Sure, I support the double standard.

00:31:55.000 Of course I support the double standard, because I don't think that women ought to be treated physically the same way that men are.

00:32:00.000 I'm not a feminist, right?

00:32:01.000 I don't have the purple hair.

00:32:03.000 I've talked about this.

00:32:04.000 My wife has swatted me on occasion, but on the shoulder when I did something. 0.98

00:32:08.000 And I would never do it to her.

00:32:09.000 So you knocked her into the next room. 1.00

00:32:10.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:32:13.000 Women don't understand the difference. 1.00

00:32:15.000 I was doing this, you know, I had this surgery and I have this spinal cord injury, so I was doing these, like before the EMG tests, you know, they check, they go, okay, curl against me and press against me.

00:32:24.000 And this, like, old Filipino lady who was my neurologist, she's like, oh, you're very strong.

00:32:29.000 I'm like...

00:32:30.000 What are we doing?

00:32:31.000 I could literally shove you out the third story, Rindo, right now.

00:32:34.000 How can you offer resistance and tell?

00:32:37.000 Did you say Rindo?

00:32:39.000 You just said Rindo.

00:32:41.000 Well, because I was still in the Filipino.

00:32:42.000 Ah, okay.

00:32:42.000 We'll go with that.

00:32:43.000 Sorry.

00:32:44.000 So one of the things that's been bothersome to me is the failure to even recognize the basic facts.

00:32:50.000 Again, you want to make the case that Michelle made a bigger deal out of this than it was.

00:32:53.000 I don't think that's fair, but that's at least a case you can make. 0.99

00:32:56.000 If you want to make the case that Corey Lewandowski never touched her or that he's some sort of hero for pulling her away, that's just stupid. 0.97

00:33:02.000 I'm sorry. 0.99

00:33:02.000 And you're saying the tape exonerates your man? 0.99

00:33:04.000 No, the tape shows exactly what Michelle said it showed.

00:33:07.000 And by the way, she went silent for 24 hours after this happened.

00:33:10.000 Jimmy Weinstein tweeted that she went silent for well over 24 hours after this happened.

00:33:14.000 I talked with her the night after it happened, and I encouraged her because of all the flack she was getting to go file a police report the next morning.

00:33:20.000 She didn't.

00:33:21.000 She didn't want to.

00:33:22.000 It was only after the Trump people started pushing her Well, if it's so real, if it really happened, why don't you go file a police report?

00:33:27.000 Okay, fine, I will.

00:33:29.000 If you're going to say that I'm faking bruises on myself, then I'll go ahead and do it. 0.97

00:33:33.000 The whole thing is ridiculous. 0.64

00:33:36.000 Ben Shapiro just admitted to talking with Michelle Fields the night afterwards to start the rumor that he had an affair. 0.93

00:33:41.000 There it is, right?

00:33:42.000 That's the other one that I'm really enjoying.

00:33:45.000 That's enough!

00:33:46.000 It's more than the National Enquirer had.

00:33:48.000 That's right.

00:33:49.000 Personally, Ben Shapiro slept with me.

00:33:51.000 Everyone report it.

00:33:52.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:33:54.000 Come on, dude.

00:33:54.000 It was awesome.

00:33:55.000 And the part of this that's so ridiculous is that Trump actually goes out there and he exaggerates what Fields originally said in order to claim that she exaggerated it, right?

00:34:05.000 Right.

00:34:05.000 She never claimed that she fell to the ground.

00:34:07.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:34:08.000 I will say this.

00:34:09.000 I think her claim, the accurate claim, was, I would say, slightly exaggerated.

00:34:13.000 However, Donald Trump...

00:34:15.000 Absolutely.

00:34:16.000 And Corey Lewandowski absolutely lied about her claim, and they lied about her not being there and not meeting her.

00:34:20.000 And the only reason I say that is because having seriously faced violent assault, having been a part of it, you know, you see it all the time, whether someone shows up at a college and kids yell and scream hate speech and they classify it as assault and people build these things up.

00:34:33.000 Like, for me, I've always tried to mitigate it because I just want to do comedy.

00:34:37.000 So I don't want to be a part of that culture.

00:34:39.000 I'm not saying Michelle Fields did it intentionally. 0.96

00:34:41.000 It didn't look severe.

00:34:43.000 However...

00:34:44.000 You don't put your hands on a reporter, period.

00:34:46.000 And you certainly don't grab a woman hard enough to bruise her arm.

00:34:49.000 End of story.

00:34:50.000 I mean, grab yank bruise is fine for me.

00:34:51.000 Legally, though, can that be proven that the bruises were from him?

00:34:55.000 Well, I mean, she did go.

00:34:56.000 I mean, the only way that you can do it is, well, two ways, right?

00:34:59.000 I mean, number one, her testimony, right?

00:35:02.000 And number two, presumably they took a picture of her, and she told me they did, that the police took a picture of her arm.

00:35:08.000 Theoretically, they could match that up maybe to his hand size, for example, because you can actually see finger imprints on her arm.

00:35:13.000 And also, Ben Terrace of the Washington Post actually, in his report, says bruises started to form on her arm.

00:35:19.000 So he actually says that he saw that second witness testimony.

00:35:19.000 Right?

00:35:23.000 And this is what everybody is...

00:35:24.000 This whole thing is bizarre.

00:35:26.000 Ben Terrace was conspiring with Michelle Fields of Breitbart.

00:35:29.000 You're right.

00:35:29.000 The Breitbart reporter was deeply out to get...

00:35:31.000 It was Breitbart.

00:35:32.000 They were deeply out to get Donald Trump.

00:35:34.000 I mean, if you viewed Breitbart at any time in recent history...

00:35:37.000 This is probably the most absurd part of the whole conspiracy theory, is that Michelle was, as hired by Breitbart, again, Breitbart, was deeply out to get Donald Trump, right?

00:35:46.000 This isn't Jimmy Carter Jr.

00:35:48.000 Well, I think actually, if we're being fair, Breitbart, I understand Breitbart the trademark, but I think Breitbart the man probably would have been out to get Donald Trump.

00:35:57.000 Okay, first of all, I think Breitbart the man would have flown down to Florida and confronted Lewandowski and Trump about this whole thing the day after.

00:35:57.000 Oh, are you?

00:36:03.000 I don't think that they, you know, so this, again, people are acting like Michelle.

00:36:08.000 I just say Andrew now.

00:36:09.000 I just say Andrew.

00:36:10.000 Andrew, yeah, I agree with you.

00:36:11.000 I mean, one of the things that's so ridiculous is people are acting like Michelle originally claimed that Corey Lewandowski grabbed a crowbar and hit her in the head or something.

00:36:19.000 No.

00:36:20.000 What she claimed is that he grabbed her, yanked her back, pulled her toward the ground.

00:36:23.000 She lost her balance momentarily and regained it.

00:36:25.000 And then when she said on Megyn Kelly's show, I think it was Thursday night, when she said on Megyn Kelly's show that this had been the worst trauma of her life, she didn't mean the physical.

00:36:34.000 No.

00:36:35.000 She meant a massive national campaign coming after her and trying to smear her as somebody who is just making things up in order to get Donald Trump. 1.00

00:36:46.000 She desperately needs the attention.

00:36:47.000 Michelle ended up quitting Breitbart over this, and she doesn't have another job yet.

00:36:51.000 So, you know, the idea that she was doing all of this because she was desperate for another job or because she wanted more pay.

00:36:57.000 I mean, there's a report today from The Blaze. 0.87

00:36:59.000 I've been pushing her to go on TV and defend herself because Trump is, again, calling her a liar and presumably an ISIS assassin with her magic pen bomb. 0.82

00:37:06.000 And I've been pushing her. 0.91

00:37:08.000 It could be a detonator.

00:37:09.000 It could be.

00:37:10.000 You know, you never know what those pens.

00:37:11.000 She could have brought him to a table and done the Joker trick from the Dark Knight. 0.93

00:37:15.000 And maybe she was Jason Bourne.

00:37:17.000 It was Bourne identity.

00:37:18.000 And she was just going to start fighting him with the pen.

00:37:20.000 Who knows?

00:37:20.000 Right.

00:37:21.000 It could have been anything.

00:37:22.000 But I've been trying to push her to do that.

00:37:25.000 She texted me late last night.

00:37:26.000 She says, here's the reason I'm not.

00:37:27.000 Late last night affair.

00:37:29.000 Affair.

00:37:30.000 She texted to the Blaze, to an article from the Blaze, that points out that she has now had to abandon her apartment because they accidentally published her.

00:37:39.000 We have to go to a break, but I want to bring you back.

00:37:41.000 Ben Shapiro, Daily Caller, dailywire.com.

00:37:43.000 Be back.

00:37:44.000 Welcome to Cool News.

00:38:12.000 News with a super cool approach.

00:38:15.000 I am your host, Phil Cool.

00:38:17.000 This week in the news, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich had town halls with CNN. We've noted homosexual, innocent coupons. 0.96

00:38:30.000 Hey, P-Ray. 0.81

00:38:31.000 Hey, P-Ray, man, why is the mic so close to your face, man?

00:38:35.000 Man, you're chewing ice.

00:38:36.000 It's distracting.

00:38:37.000 Oh, I can't talk about the news.

00:38:38.000 I can't read my copy if you're chewing ice in a microphone.

00:38:43.000 Take the microphone away from your face.

00:38:46.000 No.

00:38:47.000 Hey.

00:38:48.000 Hey, P-Ray.

00:38:50.000 I'm talking to you.

00:38:51.000 You're still chewing on ice.

00:38:51.000 You're still drinking.

00:38:53.000 P-Ray.

00:38:54.000 I'm gonna read copy.

00:38:55.000 I can't read copy.

00:38:56.000 People can't hear reading copy. 1.00

00:38:58.000 If all they hear is you chewing that damn ice, I want you to take that ice and Aus your mouth! 1.00

00:39:06.000 Shut off the damn microphone. 1.00

00:39:07.000 Let me remove my cup. 1.00

00:39:08.000 No.

00:39:11.000 I've been right.

00:39:11.000 Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, at S Crowder where I'm tweeting all day long I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.

00:39:40.000 You should see the amount of hate I get on there.

00:39:43.000 Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan. 1.00

00:39:48.000 So listen, it's free, you get to be entertained, and you can chime in.

00:39:51.000 Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets, and maybe you'll be lucky enough, and I mean lucky enough, because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine, to have your tweet to me, or not Gay Jared, included in our rockinest tweet of the week. 0.63

00:40:07.000 So follow me on Twitter, at escrowder.

00:40:09.000 If not...

00:40:11.000 I don't want to say I have sights on your mother, but...

00:40:14.000 Oh, she's dead? 0.97

00:40:16.000 You're just saying that because I made a mom joke.

00:40:18.000 No, she's really dead? 0.75

00:40:19.000 Well, you kind of walked into it.

00:40:21.000 Oh, bless you.

00:40:44.000 I'm glad to be back.

00:40:45.000 I apologize.

00:40:45.000 Daily Wire.

00:40:46.000 You had a little safari there.

00:40:47.000 That's pretty cool.

00:40:49.000 DailyWire.com, our guest.

00:40:50.000 There's so many dailies.

00:40:52.000 Ben Shapiro knows this.

00:40:53.000 He's a professional.

00:40:54.000 He'll forgive me.

00:40:56.000 He could sue me.

00:40:57.000 He's got the secret establishment Jew shekels. 0.99

00:41:01.000 Ben, are you still with us?

00:41:03.000 Yeah, I am, yeah.

00:41:05.000 I don't know how to deal with this.

00:41:07.000 You know, we've all got the...

00:41:08.000 I tell you what, though, I've never experienced more, I guess, I hate to eat, like, anti-Semitism in my life, and I'm not Jewish.

00:41:16.000 Yeah, no, you're an honorary Jew now because you oppose Trump. 0.53

00:41:18.000 That's the way this works.

00:41:18.000 Well, no, it wasn't even the Trump, just the Israel thing.

00:41:20.000 Like, I turned to Jared, and I've turned to Jared several times ago, like, because, you know, I don't really get particularly offended, but I go, man, like...

00:41:26.000 It's got to be rough for a guy like Ben Shapiro to literally go into his timeline and see Nazi propaganda.

00:41:31.000 At some point, you've got to go, eh.

00:41:35.000 It's certainly annoying, and I'm tired of hearing that, oh, it's just us being pranksters.

00:41:40.000 There are certain things that really are not...

00:41:43.000 When I can't distinguish your tweets from David Dukes, and that's not my fault, that's your fault.

00:41:48.000 If you If you tweet me like an anti-Semitic meme, you're like, yeah, I'm just being a free speech prankster.

00:41:56.000 First of all, you know, do what you want.

00:41:58.000 I'm not saying the law should come and get you.

00:42:00.000 I've never called the cops on anybody because of what they say.

00:42:02.000 But, you know, again, if an open white supremacist and your tweets are indistinguishable in every way, then how exactly?

00:42:09.000 I can't read your mind, and it doesn't sound very much like I'd want to because I'm not sure that there's anything there.

00:42:14.000 Anti-Semitism isn't really a fresh prank, though, either.

00:42:14.000 Right.

00:42:17.000 I mean, if we're going to get down to some of that, it's been done.

00:42:22.000 It's been done really well.

00:42:23.000 3,000 years of the Mary pranksterism later, they're still trying to see that.

00:42:28.000 Some would say millions of Jews murdered was the apex of the prank. 0.62

00:42:33.000 Yeah, it's kind of old.

00:42:35.000 I mean, solid prank.

00:42:37.000 That's one for them, Ben.

00:42:39.000 That's one for them.

00:42:40.000 You wake up six years later, all the Jews are gone. 1.00

00:42:41.000 Boom, what a prank.

00:42:43.000 Scoreboard stormfront.

00:42:46.000 Yeah, it's a weird time to be here.

00:42:50.000 Okay, so we want to wrap up the Michelle Fields thing.

00:42:53.000 I think there's room for people to be critical, but Like you said, my problem is someone can say, well, she exaggerated, and the arguments when I say that are usually based on the lie, that she said she was thrown to the ground, which she didn't.

00:43:08.000 I mean, Michelle Fields, regardless of one's feelings, her statement never changed.

00:43:12.000 That's right.

00:43:13.000 The way it was presented.

00:43:14.000 And by the way, it was backed by Ben Harris, right? 0.88

00:43:16.000 I mean, his report in the Washington Post never changed either, but they called her a liar, they called him a liar.

00:43:20.000 They suggested that she was after Trump personally and that this was all just made up.

00:43:24.000 But that's brilliant, though.

00:43:25.000 That's brilliant because that is within the realm of reason.

00:43:28.000 As people who have been long-term conservatives, you know that the media can be out and they can target people regardless of the truth.

00:43:33.000 And if you hear the false claims, not the actual claims, if you don't read the statements, you can believe, well, if she said she was thrown to the ground and it's no surprise that Washington Post would back her up, it's easy to buy in.

00:43:45.000 Well, this is the part about the Trump campaign that I really find despicable, is they just put out these waves of lies that are almost undebunkable, meaning because they're so large.

00:43:54.000 So yesterday, Donald Trump was on MSNBC, and he actually said that Michelle Fields was fired from Breitbart.

00:43:58.000 Okay, that's an outright lie.

00:44:01.000 It's an outright lie.

00:44:01.000 He just makes things up.

00:44:03.000 He's making up this whole story about Michelle was told twice by the Secret Service not to touch Trump.

00:44:08.000 You can watch the tape, okay?

00:44:09.000 It never happens.

00:44:11.000 The whole thing is really absurd, but Because Trump is lying all the time and because his believers refuse to believe that he's lying even half the time, they just take what he's saying for granted.

00:44:21.000 And he operates, as you say, in this very safe space for him, which is no matter what I say, it can't be debunked because the only people who are there to debunk it are the media you don't trust.

00:44:31.000 Right.

00:44:32.000 Trump is the wages of sin, basically.

00:44:35.000 The media has been horrible for 30 years, and so what you end up with is a guy, well, really, 70 years, and you end up with a guy like Trump who just says, I'm going to lie as openly and as blatantly as possible, and I'm going to dare you to debunk me because no one trusts you.

00:44:48.000 I don't know that he's proactively lying, just like he had never thought of abortion.

00:44:54.000 I think he just says things and refuses to apologize, and then if it happens to be untrue, he has to continue with it.

00:45:00.000 I generally agree with you.

00:45:01.000 I do think, however, that when he's saying that...

00:45:03.000 I think that the magical story about the pen bomb from Michelle is completely a lie, right?

00:45:08.000 I mean, he was there.

00:45:09.000 That's a natural lie.

00:45:10.000 When he said, yeah, I was deeply...

00:45:12.000 She assaulted me, which is the new claim.

00:45:14.000 I mean, by the way...

00:45:16.000 She came out to me, okay?

00:45:18.000 Right.

00:45:19.000 Okay, in Donald Trump's dreams, right?

00:45:22.000 In Donald Trump's dreams, Michelle Fields assaults him.

00:45:25.000 I mean, I'm sorry, but for a man who has mail-order brides, I think that he really ought to take a second look at how he treats women.

00:45:33.000 If I wanted a wife like that, I could buy one, too. 0.97

00:45:33.000 That's true. 0.97

00:45:36.000 If I wanted boobs like that, I could also buy them. 0.99

00:45:38.000 It's not that impressive. 0.85

00:45:39.000 It's amazing.

00:45:40.000 It's an amazing country.

00:45:41.000 I actually think she seems like a decent woman.

00:45:42.000 I don't know.

00:45:43.000 The whole wife thing, it seems like... 1.00

00:45:46.000 Okay, where do you think, regardless of what happens here...

00:45:49.000 By the way, I don't think, you know, whether she's a decent woman or not, the beginning of the relationship was not particularly decent, if you read about that.

00:45:55.000 No, no, of course not.

00:45:56.000 Of course not.

00:45:56.000 He was married at the time, and she was having an affair with him, and she was going on Howard Stern and talking in extreme detail about their sex life while posing nude on the cover of magazines.

00:46:05.000 Wait, was this Melania?

00:46:06.000 Or I thought that was Maples who talked about the sex.

00:46:08.000 Oh, no, no, Melania, too.

00:46:09.000 Melania, he was still technically married to Marlo when he was knocking on Melania's door.

00:46:14.000 Oh, okay.

00:46:15.000 Well, I don't, yeah, I don't know.

00:46:17.000 And presumably at some point there will be a fourth wife where he upgrades and, you know, has an affair with her while he's married to this one based on prior precedent.

00:46:23.000 Well, you know what I don't understand with the wife thing? 1.00

00:46:25.000 Regardless of where you line up politically, Heidi Cruz is an attractive, you know, she's older than me, but she's an attractive older woman. 1.00

00:46:31.000 I don't get it.

00:46:32.000 Like, it's not a valid insult that she's ugly. 1.00

00:46:35.000 Well, it's not a valid insult anyway, because, I mean, what Heidi Cruz's looks have to do with anything is beyond me. 0.99

00:46:43.000 But Trump, he's such a...

00:46:47.000 I understand what they would have to do with Trump.

00:46:49.000 I mean, listen, you have a very pretty wife, and men like having a pretty woman on their arm.

00:46:54.000 I understand that.

00:46:55.000 I have a pretty wife. 0.99

00:46:56.000 Yeah, my wife's also a doctor, you know?

00:46:57.000 Your wife actually does things. 1.00

00:46:59.000 I don't care about that.

00:47:01.000 No one cares about that.

00:47:02.000 That's not required.

00:47:05.000 We're almost out of this time for this segment.

00:47:07.000 All right, we have one minute.

00:47:08.000 Ben, where do you think the Republican Party goes from here?

00:47:11.000 Into the scrap heap.

00:47:13.000 No matter who it is?

00:47:15.000 Almost regardless.

00:47:16.000 If Trump is deprived of the nomination, then he and his followers walk out.

00:47:20.000 At least for four years, we're done.

00:47:21.000 If Trump wins the nomination, I think that we're done for a generation because he's just a smear across the face of conservatism.

00:47:28.000 Yeah, well, that might be true.

00:47:30.000 But maybe he can sell it to feminists as a pap smear and they go, well, we're on board with that so long as it's free. 0.82

00:47:35.000 You never know.

00:47:36.000 You never know.

00:47:37.000 Ben Shapiro, DailyWire.com.

00:47:39.000 You also have Klavan over there.

00:47:41.000 Great website.

00:47:42.000 So Ben, go get some rest, but we want to have you back as this stuff develops because we don't have to censor you.

00:47:42.000 I highly recommend it.

00:47:48.000 So thanks for coming on, brother.

00:47:49.000 Sounds good.

00:47:49.000 Appreciate it.

00:47:50.000 Be well.

00:47:50.000 Louder with Crowder, everybody.

00:47:52.000 Of course, send your hate mail not to me.

00:47:52.000 Stay tuned.

00:47:55.000 Send it to Ben.

00:47:56.000 You can send the anti-Semitic stuff to either of us.

00:47:58.000 Louder with Crowder.

00:47:59.000 Stay tuned.

00:48:28.000 And now it's time for your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.

00:48:33.000 Amen.

00:48:34.000 Now, this week's letter comes to us from Allen, Michigan, from Gay Jerome.

00:48:41.000 Gay Jerome says he has a problem with his boyfriend no longer lusting after him as he felt they did when they first met.

00:48:51.000 Now, the toucan sounds fun.

00:48:53.000 How's all the two-for-one margarita nights?

00:48:58.000 Jazz, what happens to the best of us?

00:49:01.000 I will give you some advice.

00:49:04.000 I don't know a whole lot about the two Jarrods and the gay Jarrods and where's the pitch and the catcher and who's doing the pudding pap and who's doing... 1.00

00:49:12.000 I don't know about that, but I do know how to help relationship advice.

00:49:18.000 Give yourself...

00:49:21.000 Some drugs.

00:49:22.000 And then you're going to want to get yourself some coffee, maybe like the mocha, the vanilla, get yourself some of the flavoring to cover it up, but it's very important.

00:49:34.000 Gotta remember that he cannot be looking when you put the drugs in his coffee or you're gonna have a problem.

00:49:43.000 What you do is maybe you say, hey, I'm gonna make him some special coffee.

00:49:49.000 It might be a good idea for you to maybe first go to the proxy, make the pre-pee, and then you drug him or then you're gonna have the bread.

00:49:57.000 This has been your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.

00:49:57.000 You're gonna have the bread.

00:50:05.000 The End You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.

00:50:15.000 Politics.

00:50:16.000 Civility.

00:50:17.000 How about honesty in this country, folks?

00:50:19.000 Entertainment.

00:50:20.000 I don't like entertainment.

00:50:22.000 And a whole bunch of other stuff.

00:50:24.000 It's about having a healthy body image.

00:50:27.000 If you have a very unhealthy body, you should have a horrible body image.

00:50:29.000 Not a big home improvement market in Detroit.

00:50:32.000 We are definitely going to get letters.

00:50:34.000 You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. 0.97

00:50:38.000 You're a strange animal.

00:50:42.000 You're getting louder with Crowder. 0.99

00:50:46.000 But you're a strange animal. 0.88

00:50:48.000 I've got to follow. 0.91

00:50:51.000 Oh, I'm in the spiritus.

00:50:55.000 All right, glad to be back.

00:50:57.000 Second hour.

00:50:58.000 Ben Shapiro was a great guest.

00:51:00.000 I am your host.

00:51:01.000 Again, producing with me in studio, as always, is Jared.

00:51:04.000 You can follow him at NotGayJared on Twitter.

00:51:06.000 I fulfill my legal obligations.

00:51:07.000 You can draw your own conclusions.

00:51:11.000 Tim Kennedy coming up at the bottom of the hour here.

00:51:14.000 I need to set the stage here a little bit for you once I get my computer working.

00:51:19.000 The interwebs is just a real problem.

00:51:21.000 Gosh, you know, you'd think they'd had enough time to have perfected it.

00:51:26.000 Not so lucky.

00:51:27.000 This video went viral.

00:51:28.000 We covered it at lottowithcrowder.com.

00:51:31.000 At that point, it had only had not a ton of plays.

00:51:35.000 Someone sent it to me.

00:51:36.000 By the way, thank you so much for people who send us stories.

00:51:38.000 Sometimes our best stories are, you know, local things that we run that nobody else carries.

00:51:43.000 And people just send them to me, and I go, oh, you know, we should really write about this.

00:51:47.000 And it does really well, and other people pick it up.

00:51:49.000 So thank you, Crowderheads, for doing that. 1.00

00:51:52.000 This happened at San Francisco University.

00:51:55.000 Where else?

00:51:56.000 I believe it's San Francisco University.

00:51:59.000 Surprise!

00:52:00.000 I don't know if it's San Francisco College.

00:52:02.000 You know, you can get those things wrong. 0.99

00:52:04.000 Somewhere where you legally have to pay for someone else's Lorena Bobbitt penis. 1.00

00:52:11.000 Somewhere in that vicinity, this happened. 0.98

00:52:15.000 So we were talking about this earlier.

00:52:17.000 And it's gone viral, and a lot of people just aren't aware as to how bad things have gotten on college campus.

00:52:24.000 So, Jared, you can bring up my screen.

00:52:25.000 This woman who you see, the sideshow Bob hairdo-looking character, is, for those listening terrestrially, we're doing this in the livestream, I will try and create this in the theater of your mind to describe it for you.

00:52:38.000 She's looking aggressively at this white kid.

00:52:41.000 Granted, I look at him, and I would like to, you know, stuff him in a locker, but that's not...

00:52:46.000 It's not my right. 0.97

00:52:47.000 And someone behind there who looks what would appear to be a gay inspector gadget. 0.93

00:52:51.000 It looks like Jesse Eisenberg had a baby with Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, doesn't it? 0.91

00:52:55.000 The dreadlock guy.

00:52:56.000 Yes. 0.89

00:52:57.000 So this guy gets stopped, and this black woman who works at the school starts berating him.

00:53:04.000 Why? 0.72

00:53:04.000 Well, I'll let you listen. 0.72

00:53:07.000 Do you know how he was in Egyptian culture?

00:53:09.000 Are you Egyptian?

00:53:10.000 No.

00:53:10.000 Why are you not?

00:53:11.000 No.

00:53:11.000 Are you Egyptian?

00:53:12.000 Why?

00:53:13.000 Why?

00:53:14.000 Okay, you need to hear that.

00:53:16.000 She's saying what you're doing is problematic.

00:53:17.000 He says, why?

00:53:18.000 She says, because it's my culture.

00:53:20.000 Meaning his dreadlocks.

00:53:21.000 Let me continue.

00:53:22.000 Do you know what I was in Egyptian culture?

00:53:24.000 Are you Egyptian?

00:53:25.000 Nah, glad you're not. 1.00

00:53:26.000 Damn. 1.00

00:53:27.000 Are you Egyptian? 1.00

00:53:28.000 No, but they didn't matter.

00:53:29.000 Wait, where's Egypt?

00:53:30.000 Tell me.

00:53:31.000 Where's Egypt?

00:53:32.000 Now she's grabbing him, for those who are listening terrestrially.

00:53:34.000 She's grabbing him.

00:53:35.000 He's trying to remove himself from the situation.

00:53:37.000 Made a good point about Egyptian culture.

00:53:39.000 I didn't know that about the dreadlocks in Egyptian culture.

00:53:42.000 I thought it was nothing but scarabs and Billy Zane.

00:53:45.000 So she starts blocking him.

00:53:47.000 He's trying to get away now.

00:53:48.000 She stops him, this employee, or a school worker.

00:53:52.000 I don't know what a campus worker means.

00:53:53.000 I don't know if she's paid.

00:53:54.000 She stops him to berate him for his hairdo, claiming that it's racially offensive.

00:53:57.000 He makes a point that, listen, this goes back to Egypt.

00:54:01.000 And then he tries to remove himself.

00:54:03.000 She follows him, blocks him, and now she's putting hands on him. 0.86

00:54:05.000 I'm going to tell you where I live.

00:54:08.000 Huh?

00:54:08.000 Where did he live?

00:54:09.000 He's driving.

00:54:13.000 Starts mocking him and grabs his wrist.

00:54:15.000 Now she's grabbing his wrist and yanking him back.

00:54:18.000 So there you go.

00:54:24.000 Now, so that's all you need to see.

00:54:27.000 She stopped.

00:54:27.000 Let me recap this for you, okay?

00:54:33.000 Black woman stops white guy because he has cornrows. 1.00

00:54:36.000 Berates him for being racially incensed, for cultural appropriation.

00:54:39.000 I'll explain that term to you for those who don't know.

00:54:41.000 I know many of you have jobs.

00:54:43.000 It's hard to keep up.

00:54:44.000 He says, this isn't even your culture.

00:54:46.000 This is Egyptian culture.

00:54:47.000 I'm not trying to be offensive.

00:54:48.000 Tries to remove himself.

00:54:49.000 She blocks him.

00:54:50.000 She yanks him. 0.85

00:54:52.000 And, uh...

00:54:54.000 Yanks him back.

00:54:55.000 He tries to walk away again.

00:54:56.000 She grabs him.

00:54:57.000 And he says, yo, don't touch me.

00:54:59.000 And he wax on, wax off to describe for people listening terrestrially to get her hands off of him.

00:55:05.000 And then she complains about him putting hands on her.

00:55:07.000 And the gay inspector gadget white knight behind her looking character says, oh, I can't believe it. 0.94

00:55:13.000 So here's the thing, right? 0.72

00:55:14.000 It's kind of like the pepper spray story that we'll get to.

00:55:18.000 The pepper spray story that happened at a Trump rally.

00:55:21.000 If you didn't see, if this video didn't exist, and this is most cases, right, in the United States, the story would be white student assaults female black employee.

00:55:34.000 And she would have made it a racial thing and probably gone on the talk show circuit and say, yeah, it's really hard to be a black woman on campus. 1.00

00:55:41.000 What was us being put there with all the quotas with our grades not even being high enough?

00:55:45.000 It's really hard.

00:55:46.000 We feel bad about ourselves.

00:55:49.000 That would have been the story that you heard.

00:55:51.000 Kind of like the Congressman Clyburn situation when Andrew Breitbart was alive and he claimed he was called the N-word and it didn't happen.

00:55:57.000 There was more footage than you could watch in a lifetime from every possible angle.

00:56:00.000 It didn't happen.

00:56:02.000 This would have been the story here without this videotape.

00:56:05.000 She would have made the claim, local paper.

00:56:07.000 This kid probably would.

00:56:08.000 He still may be expelled.

00:56:10.000 I don't know.

00:56:11.000 Similar to, and we'll go to that.

00:56:12.000 Let me bring this up here on my screen for those watching the videocast.

00:56:18.000 And for those listening terrestrially, you can go see all of these articles at lotterwithcrowder.com.

00:56:21.000 This is a parallel to a story that was really viral where a girl... 1.00

00:56:24.000 There we go.

00:56:27.000 Where a girl was at a Trump rally, and she got pepper sprayed in the face.

00:56:31.000 And so the headline was, girl gets groped, gets pepper sprayed in the face.

00:56:35.000 Well, we have videotape.

00:56:36.000 Now, this was bad all around.

00:56:37.000 Some Trump fans were yelling the N-word afterward, and she was clearly there, and she assaulted somebody. 1.00

00:56:45.000 Nobody is right in this situation.

00:56:47.000 But the media never said, by the way, before the pepper spray, she sucker punched an old man as hard as she possibly could. 0.55

00:56:54.000 It's kind of key if you leave it out.

00:56:58.000 So that's why it's important.

00:56:59.000 Keep your cameras rolling all the time.

00:57:01.000 If you're not being taped now, assume you're being taped, but please keep your cameras rolling, assuming you're truthful.

00:57:01.000 All the time.

00:57:07.000 If you want to hide from the truth, then obviously you don't want cameras rolling.

00:57:12.000 That's a great indicator of where someone's character is, if they want transparency or if they don't.

00:57:18.000 Oh, cultural appropriation.

00:57:21.000 When was the first time you've heard about cultural appropriation?

00:57:25.000 It's probably been the last year or so, actually.

00:57:30.000 It's a fairly recent kind of thing that you see popping up more and more in Twitter and social media and that kind of thing.

00:57:37.000 For people who don't know...

00:57:40.000 It's another form of racism.

00:57:42.000 You know, racism at one point meant you hated people based on their skin color.

00:57:46.000 You thought they were beneath you solely based on their race.

00:57:50.000 Well, that's not what it means anymore.

00:57:51.000 It can mean whatever leftists want it to mean depending on the day and where they are in their hunger strike.

00:57:56.000 And that also depends on how far into their dad's trust fund they are, as seen at Mizzou.

00:58:03.000 How do you pronounce it?

00:58:04.000 I've always said it wrong.

00:58:05.000 I think I say it wrong, too.

00:58:06.000 I say Mizzou.

00:58:07.000 I think it's Mizzou.

00:58:08.000 Mizzou.

00:58:08.000 I said Mizzou for a long time.

00:58:10.000 Because there was a French Canadian singer, Mizzou.

00:58:12.000 That's incredibly wrong.

00:58:13.000 It is absolutely wrong.

00:58:14.000 There's no doubt that I've said it wrong.

00:58:16.000 Cultural appropriation, for those who don't know.

00:58:18.000 Let me just break it down for you real quick.

00:58:19.000 I know a lot of you do know, but keep in mind that a lot of people don't know.

00:58:22.000 It's this idea that it's racist to absorb or use someone else's culture.

00:58:27.000 We told you that story where it was considered cultural appropriation and racist for a frat party to have a tequila themed party.

00:58:33.000 And they had sombreros.

00:58:35.000 That was considered cultural appropriation.

00:58:37.000 And they were banned from public gathering or speaking on the campus.

00:58:41.000 I don't remember the punishment. 0.91

00:58:42.000 It was ridiculous punishment. 0.88

00:58:43.000 In this case, she's saying it's racist. 0.98

00:58:45.000 It's cultural appropriation because white people can't wear cornrows. 0.93

00:58:49.000 A white guy wearing cornrows is racist because only black people are allowed to wear cornrows. 0.98

00:58:55.000 If you can't see that that worldview is ironically incredibly racist, I want you to do me a favor. 0.97

00:59:01.000 I want you to, right now, find your own quiet space where you can take some time to think, meditate if you need to, and throw yourself off a rooftop. 0.76

00:59:09.000 I need you to throw yourself off of a rooftop if you believe that a white person wearing cornrows... 1.00

00:59:15.000 Is racist. 0.97

00:59:16.000 If you want to compare that, and these people do, to slavery, if you want to compare that to the civil rights struggle, the only productive thing you can do is throw yourself off the roof. 0.83

00:59:25.000 Now, I know Stephen just said kill.

00:59:26.000 I didn't say kill yourself. 0.99

00:59:28.000 Throw yourself off the roof. 0.68

00:59:29.000 There are two very different things.

00:59:31.000 That's cultural appropriation. 0.94

00:59:32.000 If that's the case, okay, then, you know, black people can't do a lot of things, right? 1.00

00:59:38.000 Friends, Seinfeld, a lot of movies, right? 0.97

00:59:43.000 You know, I guess you got Tyler Perry going on, but there are a lot of things out there that black Americans take part in that were created by white people. 0.93

00:59:51.000 Apple, iPhones, those things.

00:59:53.000 But we don't think it's racist.

00:59:55.000 I know, I know we're the majority.

00:59:56.000 By the way, cultural appropriation really is kind of a compliment.

01:00:00.000 You know what it means?

01:00:01.000 It means people like some aspects that your culture has to offer.

01:00:05.000 Like hip-hop.

01:00:07.000 Remember how it was considered such progress when hip-hop hit the mainstream?

01:00:13.000 Even if you haven't seen that documentary, not the documentary, but the auto, I don't know if you call it a biographical film on Run DMC. Was it Run DMC or was it Public Enemy?

01:00:20.000 Was it Run DMC? I think it was Run DMC. Run DMC. It was considered a breakthrough.

01:00:25.000 Look, black Americans are just as popular.

01:00:28.000 They're outselling white Americans. 0.69

01:00:30.000 And you know what that proved?

01:00:31.000 That people in the United States didn't identify as a race, didn't identify as a tribe.

01:00:36.000 They identified as a set of ideals.

01:00:38.000 And they were open to people of any race or culture provided they were American.

01:00:42.000 And they were contributing to American culture.

01:00:44.000 It was considered a really good thing.

01:00:47.000 When people like Run DMC or Kids Into the Sears, LL Cool J, Flava Flav, obviously, I know these aren't prime examples, but my point is it was considered a victory back then.

01:00:57.000 Now that is considered racism because white people would be co-opting them.

01:01:01.000 You should apparently feel guilty if you're a white person and you like hip-hop, let alone blues or rock and roll or soul food in the United States.

01:01:10.000 Apparently the appreciation of anyone else's culture is considered racist.

01:01:15.000 By the way, you know who's the worst offender?

01:01:18.000 It's Beyonce. 0.98

01:01:20.000 I was going to say the Czech. 0.98

01:01:21.000 The Czechs are terrible. 1.00

01:01:22.000 But think of Beyonce. 0.99

01:01:24.000 Straight blonde hair.

01:01:28.000 Bey.

01:01:29.000 Queen Bey. 0.66

01:01:32.000 Come on, that's white people stuff. 0.99

01:01:34.000 If I can't wear dreads, I have no intent to wear dreads, but if I can't wear dreads, you can straighten your hair and dye it blonde.

01:01:42.000 Come on.

01:01:43.000 That's not real.

01:01:45.000 I don't think it's real.

01:01:46.000 I don't know.

01:01:47.000 Beyonce could be real if she's potentially a vampire. 1.00

01:01:50.000 There are rumors we can't confirm them yet.

01:01:53.000 Lider with Crowder will be back after this.

01:01:55.000 This week in Cultural Appropriation.

01:02:22.000 Um, excuse me.

01:02:24.000 As somebody with white privilege, you cannot wear dreadlocks.

01:02:28.000 Okay. 0.95

01:02:28.000 as a black person, you can't wear Levi's. 0.95

01:02:31.000 Join us next week for more in Cultural Appropriation. 0.87

01:03:57.000 Thank you.

01:03:58.000 Big story this week.

01:03:59.000 We have Tim Kennedy coming up next.

01:04:02.000 Gosh, Tim Kennedy.

01:04:02.000 What a show.

01:04:05.000 You're not plugged in.

01:04:06.000 I'm not plugged in?

01:04:07.000 What do you mean I'm not plugged in?

01:04:07.000 What are you talking about?

01:04:08.000 I'm not plugged in.

01:04:09.000 I'm plugged into the wrong thing.

01:04:10.000 By not plugged in, I mean, I didn't have a turn on.

01:04:13.000 Yeah, but it's your fault.

01:04:13.000 You didn't have the soundboard ready?

01:04:14.000 Well, you're fighting.

01:04:14.000 It's your fault.

01:04:15.000 Tim Kennedy coming up next.

01:04:16.000 For people who don't know, famous UFC fighter, noted conservative, and special forces.

01:04:21.000 Bright guy.

01:04:22.000 Not a guy you want to anger.

01:04:24.000 So it's good that we do this from a distance.

01:04:26.000 It's true.

01:04:27.000 It's true.

01:04:28.000 I told him this on Twitter once.

01:04:29.000 He's the last guy I want to meet.

01:04:31.000 Dark Alley.

01:04:32.000 At least not on his side.

01:04:34.000 Right.

01:04:35.000 If you're a terrorist, he's probably the last guy you want to meet.

01:04:37.000 Well, I don't want to disclose all my...

01:04:39.000 No, you don't want to disclose all your affiliations.

01:04:41.000 But...

01:04:44.000 There are a few prayer mats in your closet somewhere.

01:04:46.000 Yeah, this bruise doesn't come from nothing.

01:04:49.000 Back to you.

01:04:50.000 Back to me. 0.99

01:04:51.000 So, Mark Zuckerberg, arrogant wiener face slash founder of Facebook. 0.99

01:04:56.000 Guy's also a censorship maniac. 0.98

01:04:58.000 Did he just try to keep up with Tim Cook?

01:05:01.000 Is that his deal with Islam and stuff?

01:05:04.000 What, did Tim Cook say something recently?

01:05:06.000 Ah, recently.

01:05:06.000 He's always saying something...

01:05:09.000 Steve Jobs was pretty ignorant on that as well. 0.96

01:05:12.000 Oh, it's true. 0.99

01:05:13.000 I mean, he ate nothing but what?

01:05:13.000 Vegetables and stuff?

01:05:14.000 No, it was a fruit.

01:05:15.000 Fruitarian.

01:05:16.000 Fruitarian is where you...

01:05:16.000 Fruitarian.

01:05:17.000 For a while, anyway.

01:05:18.000 Fruitarian, for those of you who don't know, is when you don't even eat vegetables.

01:05:21.000 You only eat fruit that has fallen from the tree because the tree has willingly given you its fruit in order to spread its seed, and that's the only way to live harmoniously with nature.

01:05:28.000 This is the genius that produced the iPhone.

01:05:30.000 Yes.

01:05:31.000 It's also the kind of crazy that has Freud shuffling papers in his grave saying, I don't even have a fill out sheet for this.

01:05:41.000 So the Facebook founder said atrocities in Belgium, Pakistan, and Turkey were all designed to sow seeds of hatred between different communities.

01:05:47.000 Mark Zuckerberg said each of these attackers were carried out with a goal to spread fear and distrust and turn members of a community against each other.

01:05:55.000 The only sustainable way to fight back, he said, against the sickening attacks is to create a world where everyone feels cared for and loved.

01:06:04.000 Well, I guess Mark Zuckerberg...

01:06:05.000 I am moved.

01:06:06.000 He has watched a lot of Care Bears.

01:06:12.000 Yeah, you know what?

01:06:13.000 Long sigh.

01:06:14.000 Long sigh.

01:06:14.000 Fighting terrorists with hugs...

01:06:17.000 60% of the time, it works every time.

01:06:23.000 This is proof, okay?

01:06:25.000 This is proof.

01:06:26.000 This is a case study in the fact that someone can be brilliant in one area and completely inept in another.

01:06:33.000 So if someone says, hey, I am, I don't know, I'm a Harvard lawyer, great.

01:06:39.000 It doesn't mean you want him building your planes.

01:06:41.000 If Mark Zuckerberg is brilliant, probably one of the most influential people of the last century, absolutely.

01:06:48.000 Absolutely.

01:06:50.000 Doesn't mean he knows anything about foreign policy.

01:06:52.000 Now, something else, this is a guy who has attended censorship summits.

01:06:56.000 This is a guy who has openly supported removing people from Facebook who have dissenting viewpoints, be it on the refugee situation, be it on far leftism, or if they believe in the Second Amendment.

01:07:07.000 So, it's important to note that this is his worldview.

01:07:09.000 He's going to try and create a world where people feel loved.

01:07:13.000 Let me tell you something, Mark.

01:07:16.000 And I could be wrong.

01:07:17.000 I always leave that on the table, the possibility that I'm wrong.

01:07:21.000 I don't think I am here.

01:07:22.000 I don't think that ISIS would straighten up and fly right because you sent them a pajamagram. 1.00

01:07:30.000 I don't think that terrorists are going to change their way of thinking if you're nice enough.

01:07:37.000 By the way, Zuckerberg, they'd probably go to town on you a little bit longer because of your last name.

01:07:46.000 Don't forget that.

01:07:47.000 They're not going to make it quick and painless for Zuckerberg.

01:07:51.000 Okay?

01:07:52.000 If ISIS, if any of these people, if they capture someone with a Berg or a Steen or Shapiro, they've hit the jackpot. 0.86

01:08:01.000 And they're going to make that last and they're going to videotape it.

01:08:04.000 These are not people who are fighting over economics.

01:08:07.000 These are not people who are fighting over land.

01:08:10.000 These are people who are fighting because you don't submit to their religion.

01:08:16.000 That's the only reason.

01:08:18.000 It's their only stated reason.

01:08:20.000 It's why there will never be peace between Israel and Hamas. 0.91

01:08:22.000 Hamas does not want Hamas wants the Jews gone.

01:08:29.000 That's a part of their charter.

01:08:31.000 That's a big thing.

01:08:32.000 I know a lot of people who are new to conservatism, you know, it's popular to hate the Jews, and so you throw Israel under the bus. 0.99

01:08:39.000 It's silly. 1.00

01:08:40.000 It's very unintelligent. 0.96

01:08:41.000 It's not a war, for example, like France and England, right?

01:08:48.000 It's not like that.

01:08:50.000 Hamas and Israel, they're tunneling in. 0.97

01:08:52.000 They don't care if they reach a military base or innocent civilians.

01:08:56.000 Any Jew will do. 0.98

01:08:59.000 That's the same mindset of ISIS. They don't care how nice you are. 1.00

01:09:05.000 And this is the problem, too.

01:09:06.000 I mean, you want proof of this?

01:09:08.000 The fact that attacks even occurred in Belgium or France or Pakistan.

01:09:16.000 The argument used to be, well, it's only because the United States has been going in there and invading and this is a retaliatory action.

01:09:22.000 Belgium?

01:09:23.000 France?

01:09:25.000 These aren't bastions of far right-wing neocons.

01:09:30.000 These are the tolerant democratic socialists, to use Bernie's term, utopias, to whom the left has been pointing for decades of how the United States is supposed to be.

01:09:42.000 And they got attacked.

01:09:45.000 France twice.

01:09:47.000 More frequently.

01:09:48.000 As a matter of fact, Europe is far more prone to terrorist attacks than the United States.

01:09:53.000 Are you arguing that Europe is less tolerant?

01:09:56.000 They did what you wanted, Mark Zuckerberg.

01:09:59.000 You had a meeting with Merkel.

01:10:02.000 Prime Minister of Germany, and you both, you said into a live microphone, Zuckerberg said into a live microphone that, yeah, listen, we'll make sure that these anti-Syrian refugee stuff, we'll make sure to prune that from Facebook.

01:10:13.000 And a live microphone said, we're going to remove this.

01:10:15.000 We're only going to keep one point of view in people's newsfeed.

01:10:18.000 Well, guess what?

01:10:20.000 More refugees in Germany. 0.98

01:10:22.000 Also, a lot more rape, violence, terrorism, economic problems. 0.97

01:10:26.000 The citizens aren't happy.

01:10:27.000 Now you have a rise of a far right-wing nationalist movement. 0.99

01:10:33.000 It's just so silly. 0.99

01:10:35.000 These are people who don't live in reality. 0.95

01:10:37.000 Again, that goes back to the worldview of federalism, constitutionalism, conservatism, free enterprise versus socialism, centralized power.

01:10:44.000 At some point, you have to account for human nature.

01:10:47.000 At some point, you have to accept, do you believe that evil exists?

01:10:52.000 I do.

01:10:54.000 And I would file ISIS under that column. 0.98

01:10:59.000 I could be an ignorant American slash Canadian, depending on how mad you are at me that day, but I think it stands to reason. 0.97

01:11:04.000 and Tim Kennedy next. 0.99

01:11:06.000 Cultural appropriation.

01:11:27.000 Cultural appropriation.

01:11:35.000 Um, excuse me.

01:11:39.000 Whoa, Jared, what are you doing? 0.99

01:11:42.000 Shoot bad guys. 0.99

01:11:43.000 AR-15. 1.00

01:11:43.000 With what? 1.00

01:11:44.000 Where'd you get it?

01:11:45.000 AR-15.com.

01:11:46.000 Oh, there's another one.

01:11:47.000 You got him.

01:11:49.000 Thank God for AR-15.com.

01:11:51.000 They have AR-15 and accessories for sale and the best advice there is on the web.

01:11:55.000 Oh no, there's another one.

01:11:57.000 You got him.

01:11:58.000 Yeah.

01:11:59.000 With your what?

01:12:00.000 AR-15.

01:12:01.000 From where?

01:12:01.000 AR-15.com.

01:12:02.000 That's the best place to go, and that's the takeaway, because this commercial's about to stop!

01:12:06.000 An earthquake warning is in effect.

01:12:26.000 If it is mild, find a doorway.

01:12:28.000 If it's a stage four or higher, find an open area.

01:12:32.000 If it's a stage six, you're fine.

01:12:56.000 I don't give a look about what you think.

01:13:01.000 Everyone knows.

01:13:03.000 we are back, and I was doing some things on the interwebs during the break, and so I'm trying to finish it up.

01:13:09.000 I think, not gay, Jared, do we have the next guest? 1.00

01:13:12.000 We do. 0.87

01:13:12.000 He is there. 0.87

01:13:13.000 He's ready.

01:13:14.000 He's the man.

01:13:15.000 Don't say anything.

01:13:17.000 This next guest, of course, UFC fighter, former Special Forces.

01:13:21.000 He's been on, I think, History.

01:13:22.000 History Channel?

01:13:23.000 History Channel, Hunting Hitler. 0.64

01:13:24.000 Hunting Hitler.

01:13:25.000 Great show.

01:13:26.000 And he's also... 1.00

01:13:27.000 He has a penis. 1.00

01:13:31.000 He's a man. 1.00

01:13:32.000 Bonafide badass.

01:13:33.000 I believe his preferred gender pronouns are masculine.

01:13:36.000 Tim Kennedy, are you with us, sir?

01:13:37.000 Yes, I am.

01:13:39.000 Look at that.

01:13:39.000 Oh, good lord.

01:13:40.000 He has the full Count of Monte Cristo going on now.

01:13:44.000 For those who are listening terrestrially, he has a full beard and face thing going on.

01:13:48.000 I don't know how I feel about it.

01:13:52.000 Well, I think it signifies the anti-establishment a little bit, you know?

01:13:57.000 It's kind of...

01:13:59.000 I want to blow up Parliament, but still, I'm here to party.

01:14:02.000 But I also like to party.

01:14:05.000 Remember, remember, the 4th of November.

01:14:07.000 Was it 4th of November?

01:14:08.000 5th of November.

01:14:09.000 5th of November.

01:14:10.000 I don't know.

01:14:10.000 I thought it was a crappy film.

01:14:12.000 I don't think it was that bad.

01:14:13.000 I think it was pretty good, actually.

01:14:14.000 No, I don't know.

01:14:15.000 Well, we're talking about B for Bennett.

01:14:16.000 So, Tim Kennedy is back.

01:14:18.000 Gosh, Tim Kennedy.

01:14:19.000 Okay, there's a lot going on right now, and you've talked a lot on Twitter, and you get a lot of flack.

01:14:24.000 You've sort of waded into politics more.

01:14:26.000 You're big on the problem with the emasculization of the United States, and I think that you have a leg to stand on with that.

01:14:35.000 Why do you think it's important?

01:14:37.000 And I know, listen, you're an intellectual, too.

01:14:38.000 People are going to think, well, he wants all guys to fight.

01:14:39.000 No, no, that's not it, and so I want to give you the floor. 0.96

01:14:44.000 Yeah, I think it's just like the current state of where we are as a society has become more and more pathetic.

01:14:52.000 We've lost sight of who we were, where we came from, and how we could continue to be the most successful and powerful nation on the planet.

01:15:02.000 Right.

01:15:03.000 That will not exist when we have safe zones and trigger words and...

01:15:09.000 I love how out of touch he is that he has them.

01:15:11.000 It's safe spaces and trigger warnings.

01:15:14.000 And you triggered me by not even getting it correct.

01:15:15.000 This is off to a horrible start.

01:15:17.000 You're like, wow!

01:15:19.000 Jeez, words matter, Tim.

01:15:22.000 I'm actually glad I don't have it right.

01:15:23.000 I know.

01:15:25.000 That's a testament to how...

01:15:26.000 That's what my dad will do.

01:15:28.000 He'll deliberately say Justin Beaver just because he wants to disassociate himself with such horrendous human activity.

01:15:36.000 But yeah, well, yeah, I mean, it is pretty incredible.

01:15:40.000 And we were just talking about this.

01:15:41.000 Did you see the mandatory sensitivity training now coming to the Marines?

01:15:45.000 No, no, I missed that entirely.

01:15:47.000 Well, basically, it's mandatory, you know, HR training where you can't see people, you can't see race or gender, any of those things.

01:15:54.000 But of course, the PT requirements have to be lowered so women can be on the front lines. 1.00

01:15:58.000 So I think like you're talking, on campus, we expect it.

01:16:01.000 But now it's seeping into the military.

01:16:03.000 Have you noticed that?

01:16:06.000 Absolutely.

01:16:07.000 From Ranger School to Special Forces, ODAs, Civil Affairs, Psych Ops, all of these different what were very specialized units are now going to have to not try to make it happen.

01:16:25.000 They're going to have to figure out how to accommodate women coming into those units. 1.00

01:16:29.000 I'm 100% for women in combat.

01:16:32.000 I'm not.

01:16:32.000 I'm all about it.

01:16:34.000 No.

01:16:34.000 You're not?

01:16:35.000 Yeah, that's fine.

01:16:37.000 Okay, disagreeing with you.

01:16:39.000 How dare you? 1.00

01:16:40.000 You come in my house and you talk this kind of trash? 1.00

01:16:40.000 This is my show. 1.00

01:16:43.000 Who is taking care of the booking these days?

01:16:46.000 All right, fine.

01:16:46.000 Go ahead.

01:16:48.000 It just can't be done by lowering standards.

01:16:50.000 You said it.

01:16:51.000 They're coming to the Marines, but they're going to lower standards.

01:16:53.000 Okay, so that's a roundabout way of saying no, because there are not many women. 1.00

01:16:56.000 You'd have very few women who can meet those standards. 1.00

01:16:58.000 Yeah, but if they can, then they deserve to be there.

01:17:02.000 That's true, although we did have someone who was a sergeant in the Marines, Sergeant Catherine Kaman, and she is very much against it, she said, because it would change the dynamic in mixed squads.

01:17:11.000 She said men would inherently feel more protective of them, they would treat them in a way they wouldn't treat men.

01:17:16.000 This was a woman who said this, which was honestly something I hadn't even thought of before beyond the physical.

01:17:21.000 She's absolutely correct.

01:17:22.000 It would change the chemistry of any unit, any platoon, any squad, any ODA, but I don't know if that's going to be for the worse, and we're not going to know until it's done.

01:17:33.000 We know that's been successfully done in Israel, for instance, and their combat units that have mixed gender are very efficient.

01:17:44.000 So, I don't know.

01:17:46.000 Well, maybe you're right.

01:17:48.000 I have no idea.

01:17:48.000 I don't know.

01:17:49.000 You know, it's different across Israel.

01:17:51.000 We did have a study up there.

01:17:52.000 We talked with Mark Reperto where it did show that the mixed squads were definitively less efficient.

01:17:57.000 Successful.

01:17:57.000 Yeah, less successful.

01:17:58.000 But, you know, listen, I don't hold it against them because they smell better and they look better.

01:18:02.000 And you don't hate women.

01:18:03.000 You married one.

01:18:04.000 I did.

01:18:05.000 Yeah, I like them.

01:18:06.000 Yeah.

01:18:07.000 That's the takeaway for today's show. 0.79

01:18:09.000 Okay, so you before, you tweeted out, think of who could be president this time next year, and then consider killing yourself.

01:18:17.000 And people got mad.

01:18:18.000 Now, who are you talking about?

01:18:20.000 Because I obviously don't like the left, but last time you were on, I think you said you weren't really thrilled with anyone in the Republican Party either.

01:18:25.000 No, no.

01:18:25.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:26.000 I was talking about...

01:18:27.000 So let's just take the number one and number two.

01:18:30.000 We have Trump and Hillary. 0.94

01:18:31.000 So while we have a statistical, narcissistic... 0.98

01:18:36.000 You know, possibly pretty corrupt business guy, and then I think to be a felon, a criminal, you know, borderline on lying murderer as a secretary of state, as our other option. 0.86

01:18:49.000 Those are our two options.

01:18:51.000 Well, I don't know that.

01:18:52.000 It seems this week that Trump may not get the nomination.

01:18:56.000 Yeah.

01:18:58.000 Which would mean what?

01:18:59.000 That we're going to give it to Ted Cruz?

01:19:01.000 Yeah.

01:19:03.000 It seems like that.

01:19:04.000 Between the two, do you have a pick?

01:19:07.000 No, I don't like either.

01:19:09.000 Okay, well why don't you like, we obviously know you don't like Donald Trump, but why don't you like Ted?

01:19:14.000 Who was your person in this race, I guess?

01:19:16.000 Was it Rand Paul?

01:19:18.000 Yeah, I mean, although Rand Paul's foreign policy was a disaster, he and his father just seemed to not understand that the kind of one significant thing that the government needs to do is have a strong deterrent presence in the military.

01:19:36.000 And they're like, oh, no, no, we'll just shrink everything to include all forms of government, including the military.

01:19:41.000 That's a bad plan.

01:19:43.000 Right, bad plan.

01:19:44.000 Okay, so who was your person then?

01:19:46.000 Of our current options?

01:19:48.000 No, in the whole primary.

01:19:50.000 I mean, there were like 42 people.

01:19:53.000 See, this isn't fair.

01:19:54.000 You can't just say you don't like them and not pick anybody. 0.99

01:19:58.000 Damn. 0.99

01:19:58.000 I don't like any of them. 0.99

01:19:59.000 I'll take Brian Stan, Nick Palmashano.

01:20:03.000 I'll take...

01:20:04.000 Well, Brian Stan liked Jeb, and he came out and he got a lot of flack because he doesn't like Trump.

01:20:09.000 Yeah, I don't like Jeb.

01:20:11.000 No.

01:20:12.000 All right, so you don't like Trump or Hillary.

01:20:14.000 It's possible that it comes down to Bernie versus Cruz.

01:20:17.000 I mean, these are possibilities.

01:20:18.000 The likelihood is Hillary, Trump, but this week has been a rough week for Trump.

01:20:23.000 Yeah.

01:20:24.000 So what do you think of the Republican Party then?

01:20:28.000 You're someone who's been in the military.

01:20:29.000 You're someone who's been politically outspoken.

01:20:31.000 If you're at this point, is it beyond repair?

01:20:35.000 Yeah.

01:20:35.000 No, no.

01:20:36.000 Well, first, I hate the two-party system. 0.99

01:20:38.000 So the fact that we have to limit this to the Republican or Democratic Party is asinine. 0.64

01:20:44.000 I think that if everybody kind of understood what a libertarian is, we'd have like an entire third party.

01:20:51.000 But everybody has no idea of how to categorize themselves.

01:20:53.000 So they just end up saying I'm one of those two horrible options that have two horrible nominations.

01:20:59.000 Right.

01:21:01.000 The problem with that, though, is, I mean, I understand it, but the two-party system is closer to perfect than, like, a parliamentary system.

01:21:09.000 And I say that because in Canada, you can have a guy who wins with 30% of the vote.

01:21:13.000 And that's kind of why we have the Electoral College, right?

01:21:15.000 Trump has that ceiling of 30%.

01:21:17.000 And some people would argue, you know, brokered convention, contested convention, there's some murky rules there, but...

01:21:23.000 Some people can argue, well, a guy doesn't get over that 30% hump.

01:21:26.000 Should he really represent the whole Republican Party just because it's been fractured?

01:21:30.000 So the two-party system isn't good, but if you kind of see what's happening with the Republican primaries, how no one can even get half the vote, that's what happens in a system with more than two parties in a general.

01:21:39.000 So that's not good either.

01:21:41.000 You know, it's scary.

01:21:45.000 I'm just depressing you.

01:21:46.000 I'm depressing Tim Kennedy.

01:21:48.000 It's 2016, and we're moving very quickly to the nominee, and we are in a disarray.

01:21:55.000 What would be a horrible idea is the...

01:22:00.000 At the convention, they're like, you know what?

01:22:02.000 Ted Cruz, he's too conservative.

01:22:05.000 He's too libertarian.

01:22:07.000 He's too Tea Party-ish.

01:22:09.000 So we're not even going to give him the nomination.

01:22:11.000 We're going to go with a Paul Ryan or somebody else that's even more establishment just because they're going to play by the rules.

01:22:19.000 I don't think they can do that now.

01:22:20.000 I don't think there's any way they can do it.

01:22:22.000 I don't think they will.

01:22:23.000 I think they can do whatever they want.

01:22:24.000 They're playing their own instruments.

01:22:26.000 They're dictating how this entire race is going. 0.99

01:22:28.000 Well, not right now.

01:22:29.000 That's why they're rushing.

01:22:30.000 That's why they're scrambling and all hands on deck, you know, with the fire department, with Trump and Cruz.

01:22:35.000 I mean, they absolutely hate Cruz.

01:22:38.000 And then they just...

01:22:39.000 Trump is too much of a wild card, so they don't know what to do.

01:22:43.000 But I think at this point they realize the Republican Party has no chance if it's anyone other than those two.

01:22:49.000 But you may be right.

01:22:50.000 They may be so out of touch they bring out Paul Ryan with his P90X shorts.

01:22:54.000 You know, listen, he's got...

01:22:55.000 You ever see that picture?

01:22:56.000 Yeah!

01:22:57.000 It's spectral.

01:22:59.000 I'm not going to throw stones at dudes that wear short shorts because I wear short shorts.

01:23:03.000 I'm wearing short shorts right now.

01:23:04.000 That's fine.

01:23:06.000 Yeah, but you've earned the right.

01:23:07.000 Oh, gosh.

01:23:08.000 Those aren't shorts.

01:23:10.000 I don't think those qualify as shorts for people listening.

01:23:12.000 Yeah, they're Ranger panties.

01:23:14.000 Your wife is missing some clothing.

01:23:16.000 No doubt.

01:23:18.000 Yeah, you're not supposed to panty raid your wife, Tim. 1.00

01:23:21.000 That's not how it works.

01:23:22.000 It happens in college dorms.

01:23:24.000 So, yeah, I don't know.

01:23:25.000 If they bring out Paul Ryan, listen, I'll urinate on the ashes of the GOP. I've talked about that.

01:23:29.000 I don't hate Paul Ryan, but that would be a real slap in the face.

01:23:34.000 So, Donald Trump doesn't get the nomination.

01:23:38.000 They give it to Ted Cruz.

01:23:39.000 Well, they don't give it.

01:23:40.000 Here's what I think the only fair way is if no one has the delegates at that point.

01:23:44.000 And you tell me if you think I'm off base here.

01:23:46.000 If no one has the delegates needed at that point, they say, okay, let's take it to a head-to-head.

01:23:49.000 Naturally, that's Trump versus Cruz.

01:23:51.000 And then at that point, when it's just Trump and Cruz...

01:23:54.000 All the delegates can be re-pledged because they're no longer going to Rubio, Kasich, whoever else.

01:24:00.000 And you pick in the head-to-head who wins between the two of those.

01:24:03.000 I think that's the only fair way if someone doesn't have the delegates by the time we get there.

01:24:06.000 Does that sound reasonable?

01:24:08.000 Yeah.

01:24:09.000 Okay.

01:24:09.000 So if they did that and it ended up being Cruz, would you vote for him?

01:24:13.000 Yes.

01:24:14.000 Okay.

01:24:15.000 If it ended up being Trump, would you vote for him?

01:24:17.000 Yes. 0.89

01:24:19.000 Well, that's if Hillary is the other nomination, because I hate her. 1.00

01:24:24.000 What if it's Bernie?

01:24:24.000 If it was Bernie Sanders, the thought that I would vote for a socialist?

01:24:29.000 Well, if it was Bernie versus Hillary, I'd vote for Bernie.

01:24:32.000 Think about that for a second.

01:24:34.000 I don't want to.

01:24:35.000 Why would you force my mind to go to such a dark place?

01:24:38.000 This is entirely unnecessary on this program.

01:24:41.000 Bernie versus Hillary?

01:24:42.000 I tell you what, though, people have really underestimated him.

01:24:44.000 People aren't afraid of socialism anymore.

01:24:46.000 And they say this a lot, and you touched on this earlier.

01:24:49.000 We did a video on this just released today.

01:24:52.000 Leftists say, well, you think you don't like socialism?

01:24:54.000 Well, the military, that's socialism. 0.96

01:24:56.000 It's so asinine because, as you said, there's a legitimate role for government. 0.66

01:25:01.000 And is there any more legitimate role in the military? 0.94

01:25:07.000 I'm trying to think.

01:25:07.000 No.

01:25:08.000 I can't think of any.

01:25:09.000 I don't know.

01:25:10.000 Maybe more military?

01:25:13.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:25:14.000 Okay, let's switch to eight.

01:25:15.000 When are you going to get a fight in the UFC? For those listening, he's a UFC fighter.

01:25:19.000 When am I going to get a fight?

01:25:20.000 Yeah, when are you going to fight in the UFC next?

01:25:22.000 Oh, so I got back and available for a fight.

01:25:28.000 Like, a month ago.

01:25:29.000 I had a deployment, a Special Forces thing.

01:25:32.000 You also introduced me as a former Green Beret.

01:25:35.000 I don't even know what that means.

01:25:36.000 I didn't say Green Beret.

01:25:37.000 I said Special Forces because I didn't want to get it wrong.

01:25:39.000 Okay, that former part, never say again.

01:25:41.000 I will climb through the screen.

01:25:44.000 That looked like the cover to a horror VHS. It's just a beard and an eye.

01:25:50.000 Yeah.

01:25:51.000 Okay, sorry.

01:25:52.000 Current special forces.

01:25:53.000 Available for a fight.

01:25:54.000 April, May, June.

01:25:56.000 Give me anything.

01:25:58.000 So you do want to fight.

01:26:00.000 No.

01:26:00.000 Well, I asked Anderson Silva.

01:26:01.000 I asked for Vita Belfort.

01:26:03.000 I asked for Gigaard Mousasi.

01:26:04.000 So I'm ranked now seven because Michael Bisbing got ranked above me.

01:26:08.000 And though even Anderson Silva came in and lost to Michael Bisbing, they are now both ranked ahead of me.

01:26:14.000 Well, it's a weird ranking.

01:26:16.000 We'll talk about that more when we come back.

01:26:17.000 And there was something else we were going to talk about.

01:26:19.000 But Tim Kennedy, after this, music you hear, then commercial, and then more Tim Kennedy in short shorts.

01:26:25.000 Ladder with Crowder.

01:26:26.000 Stay tuned.

01:27:18.000 I'm Perry Matheson.

01:27:19.000 We take you now live to the Donald Trump Cub Scout camping trip as he stops amidst his campaign in Wisconsin.

01:27:28.000 Okay, everyone gather around the fire.

01:27:29.000 I got a really scary one for you, okay?

01:27:31.000 Look, see the flashlight on my face?

01:27:33.000 It's shining up.

01:27:34.000 Okay, it's just an op...

01:27:34.000 It's what we call an optical illusion.

01:27:36.000 Okay, it's not real.

01:27:37.000 I'm not a monster.

01:27:38.000 Okay, I tell good...

01:27:39.000 I tell scary stories.

01:27:40.000 I tell such good scary stories.

01:27:42.000 They, frankly, they call me the scary storytelling machine.

01:27:45.000 Okay, I would never call myself that.

01:27:46.000 That's what they call me.

01:27:47.000 Okay, what's that up there?

01:27:49.000 I think it's the Spurs, Mr.

01:27:50.000 Trump.

01:27:51.000 Okay, let me get back to telling the story, okay?

01:27:52.000 Truthfully, it was a dark and scary night.

01:27:55.000 Okay, such a scary night.

01:27:56.000 The best.

01:27:57.000 The scariest.

01:27:59.000 Is that thing going to shut up? 0.50

01:28:00.000 Don't worry about it, Mr.

01:28:01.000 I want to hear the story.

01:28:01.000 Trump.

01:28:02.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:28:03.000 All right, okay, and frankly, it was storming, okay?

01:28:06.000 It was raining so much.

01:28:07.000 It was raining like dogs.

01:28:08.000 It was raining cats and dogs.

01:28:09.000 Even both cats and dogs.

01:28:11.000 All right, I'll catch it up.

01:28:13.000 Mr.

01:28:14.000 Trump, the bald eagle is endangered.

01:28:16.000 That's a federal crime.

01:28:17.000 Okay, he started it.

01:28:19.000 We'll keep you abreast.

01:28:21.000 I'm Harry Mahogra.

01:28:23.000 When it's not a party, we will party hard.

01:28:36.000 All right.

01:29:02.000 I'm hearing an echo.

01:29:03.000 We are back.

01:29:04.000 Sorry for those watching the video livestream.

01:29:05.000 Apparently it went down.

01:29:06.000 We had some problems.

01:29:07.000 We are back with current Special Forces.

01:29:11.000 I don't know what you call them.

01:29:12.000 Special Forces guy, UFC fighter, host of...

01:29:16.000 Was it Killing Hitler?

01:29:17.000 Hunting Hitler.

01:29:17.000 Hunting Hitler, Tim Kennedy.

01:29:19.000 Tim, sorry about that.

01:29:19.000 I got that so wrong.

01:29:21.000 That's right. 0.92

01:29:22.000 Killing Hitler would have been a way better show, and I would have enjoyed it more. 0.99

01:29:26.000 Well, I think Bill O'Reilly has a lockdown on killing anything. 0.98

01:29:29.000 He just needs the next book, so I think killing Hitler is the cue. 0.95

01:29:33.000 It's going to be killing Kennedy. 0.98

01:29:36.000 Killing O'Reilly is going to be in there at some point. 0.55

01:29:38.000 That's when he wants to do the Andy Kaufman.

01:29:40.000 So, okay, you're talking about the fighting, UFC fights.

01:29:43.000 A lot of people out there don't necessarily follow this.

01:29:46.000 Yeah, I know you're ranked now behind Bisping and Silva, and you beat the brakes off Bisping, to be fair, but I'm sure you can accept that some of that is due to inactivity.

01:29:57.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:29:59.000 Except that how anybody could think I would lose to Michael Bisping now, even though I've already beaten him and I've gotten better, or to Anderson Silva, who stylistically I would be the worst matchup, I think, in the entire division for him.

01:30:15.000 I don't think rankings are based on that, though.

01:30:17.000 Just as far as the numbers.

01:30:19.000 Yeah.

01:30:20.000 Well, I don't think they are.

01:30:21.000 I think it's just numbers.

01:30:22.000 It's an algorithmic thing.

01:30:23.000 I think if you got in there and mixed it up with just a couple of people, you'd probably be right at the top if you fought either of them.

01:30:29.000 But the UFC is not willing to offer you either of those fights.

01:30:32.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:30:34.000 They're going to wait until I know I have another TV show or something else, and then they're going to offer me a fight.

01:30:39.000 I'm going to be in Brazil or Africa or something.

01:30:42.000 Or they know I have a deployment coming up, and then they'll offer me a fight against a friend of mine or something like that.

01:30:48.000 Have they offered you any low-level fights?

01:30:50.000 Like fights that wouldn't make sense?

01:30:51.000 Or have there just been no offers?

01:30:54.000 No, the only fight that I had was against a friend of mine who is ranked way below me.

01:31:01.000 And it's like the only guy in the entire division that has been a teammate for the past six years.

01:31:06.000 Because you don't have many friends.

01:31:08.000 Yeah, I know.

01:31:10.000 Well, now you just trash these half-half the rankings.

01:31:12.000 But I do.

01:31:12.000 I think you would do pretty well in any of those fights.

01:31:16.000 And yeah, you've got a really interesting division right now.

01:31:18.000 I wanted to talk with you about this.

01:31:19.000 I think this kind of ties into a macro we've been talking about.

01:31:22.000 You know, Freedom of the Press.

01:31:23.000 The UFC is an entertainment organization.

01:31:25.000 But have you been following the firing of Ariel Helwani there from Fox?

01:31:30.000 Oh, you didn't know that?

01:31:30.000 No.

01:31:32.000 Yeah, he was fired.

01:31:32.000 No.

01:31:33.000 Yeah.

01:31:34.000 For what?

01:31:35.000 Well, he said people, he was very classy about it.

01:31:38.000 For those of you who don't know, he's basically the Howard Cosell of MMA. Ariel Helwani, I actually know him because, funny enough, I met him at a jiu-jitsu gym when I was living in New York, and he came in, and at this point no one knew who he was.

01:31:48.000 He's been covering mixed martial arts as sport for a long time.

01:31:48.000 You're Ariel Helwani.

01:31:51.000 A lot of you would be surprised at how reasonable he is with politics, too, coming from Montreal.

01:31:56.000 And he covered the UFC back when nobody did.

01:31:59.000 He has the biggest MMA program, and he worked on Fox for a while.

01:32:03.000 Well, the rumors were, and he didn't shut them down, he was very diplomatic about it, was that as some fighters are leaving the UFC right now, and he was covering like Rory McDonald and Benson Anderson, the free agency.

01:32:15.000 And he did say, Fox called him with a two-minute phone call and said, you're gone.

01:32:19.000 So he's gone.

01:32:19.000 He's not covering any UFC events now under the Fox contract.

01:32:23.000 How did you not know this?

01:32:25.000 This happened like last week.

01:32:27.000 I have been, have you seen my Instagram or anything in the past couple of weeks?

01:32:32.000 I haven't because I want to avoid the pictures of the short shorts.

01:32:35.000 There are no pictures of short shorts, but I've pretty much been either in the woods or on the side of a helicopter.

01:32:35.000 Okay.

01:32:42.000 Okay.

01:32:43.000 So I've been kind of disconnected, and when I get Wi-Fi, I'll send my wife a photo and be like, hey, throw this on a social media of some form.

01:32:51.000 So yeah, I've been out entirely.

01:32:53.000 I'll just...

01:32:54.000 Well, just hearing that at your first guttle reaction, I mean, what do you think about that?

01:32:58.000 You've had a good relationship with Ariel, right?

01:32:59.000 It's been fine?

01:33:00.000 No, no, no.

01:33:01.000 We actually started very caustic.

01:33:04.000 He and I were, I wouldn't say like enemies, but I hated him.

01:33:08.000 He asked very pointed, direct questions, like a good journalist should, and he would try to not get a catch out of you, but...

01:33:15.000 He likes to stir the pot.

01:33:17.000 Yeah, yes, absolutely. 0.99

01:33:19.000 And I was cutting weight one time, and I was just being a dick. 0.98

01:33:23.000 And I was a dick to him, and then that's what I remembered. 0.99

01:33:26.000 So for like a year, I was like, dude, I hate this dude. 0.86

01:33:29.000 And over the course of like the past four years, just watching him and reading him and seeing how he is as a journalist, I had what ended up being like a profound...

01:33:40.000 Did you apologize?

01:33:41.000 I did.

01:33:43.000 I apologized profusely.

01:33:44.000 You did the opposite of the Trump.

01:33:45.000 You were willing to apologize.

01:33:47.000 Yeah.

01:33:49.000 So I apologize.

01:33:50.000 I actually wrote him as well, and I said, man, listen, I was so far off base, and I'm very sorry.

01:33:56.000 You're a kick-ass journalist, and please forgive me.

01:34:00.000 So now we're good.

01:34:01.000 Was he gracious?

01:34:02.000 What?

01:34:03.000 Was he gracious about it?

01:34:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:34:06.000 He's such a classy dude. 1.00

01:34:08.000 So I have – so one, it sucks when you realize that you're completely wrong and you're an asshole like I was. 0.99

01:34:15.000 But now I'm not looking at him through rose-colored lenses. 0.99

01:34:18.000 I think I have an objective perspective about him as a journalist.

01:34:22.000 And he is one hell of a journalist.

01:34:22.000 Yeah.

01:34:24.000 He's very good.

01:34:26.000 Yes, he really is, which is rare in the sport.

01:34:29.000 Yeah, well, it's tough because you get your credentials denied, and a lot of people used to say he was a UFC shill, but he's been very fair in his coverage, and he hasn't thrown anybody under the bus, but I thought you might have some opinions on that because of, like you said, the journalism in MMA is very controlled, and it's a private organization.

01:34:44.000 They have the right to do that, unlike the National Football League.

01:34:49.000 You know, it's not really a sports organization.

01:34:50.000 It's an entertainment organization.

01:34:52.000 But I just...

01:34:53.000 Go ahead.

01:34:54.000 This isn't anything new.

01:34:55.000 If you go to Loretta Hunt, who writes for ESPN, she wrote a negative article about... 0.78

01:35:03.000 Careful in repeating what the president said.

01:35:05.000 This is FCC monitored.

01:35:07.000 Yeah.

01:35:08.000 So she said something not nice, and she got excluded from any future UFC events.

01:35:14.000 So for the company that she worked for, that was pretty much a requirement because she was covering the UFC.

01:35:19.000 So now she's excommunicator ostracized from the MMA community. 1.00

01:35:22.000 Jeremy Botter, another example of that.

01:35:24.000 That just happened recently.

01:35:25.000 So now he's over at Flow Sports.

01:35:27.000 He's going to be doing amazing things for wrestling and jiu-jitsu and all other combative combat kind of sports.

01:35:33.000 But Ariel Helani, to me, that's like the icing on the cake.

01:35:37.000 That is that final candle.

01:35:39.000 The thing is, it's changed now.

01:35:41.000 Whereas he might have been voiceless once, now he has far more reach than a lot of traditional media, and I think that's a big mistake.

01:35:47.000 Same thing in the elections.

01:35:49.000 Traditional media, they've overestimated their power, and we're seeing that tip.

01:35:53.000 I wanted to wrap it up because we have to let you go, Tim Kennedy.

01:35:55.000 Best place for people to find you, real quick.

01:35:59.000 TimKennedyMMA on Instagram, TimKennedyMMA on Twitter, and TimKennedy on Facebook.

01:36:03.000 And he wears short shorts.

01:36:05.000 Carter, stay tuned.

01:36:05.000 Ladder with Crowder.

01:36:35.000 This is breaking news on Louder with Crowder.

01:36:38.000 I'm Perry Matheson.

01:36:40.000 We take you live now to a public town hall with Governor and Presidential Candidate John K. Suck.

01:36:48.000 Listen, I can't answer your questions with the two stereos, okay?

01:36:53.000 It's distracting.

01:36:56.000 Thank you.

01:36:57.000 Now, sir, if you shut yours off, I will...

01:36:59.000 I'll do my best to answer your question and try and be productive.

01:37:04.000 Okay, yeah.

01:37:05.000 Why did you eat your pizza in New York with a fork?

01:37:09.000 Now, why is everyone asking me about pizza with a fork?

01:37:14.000 It's not that big of a deal. 1.00

01:37:16.000 I guess not if you suck. 1.00

01:37:17.000 Okay, enough of that. 1.00

01:37:19.000 The pizza was hot!

01:37:20.000 Oh, nice guy's mad!

01:37:22.000 No, I am not mad.

01:37:24.000 I am not going to take the load. 1.00

01:37:26.000 Motherfuck! 1.00

01:37:29.000 We'll keep you abreast as this town hall unfolds. 1.00

01:37:32.000 For Louder with Crowder, I'm Harry Mohamed.

01:37:35.000 You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.

01:37:42.000 Politics.

01:37:43.000 Civility?

01:37:44.000 How about honesty in this country, folks?

01:37:46.000 Entertainment.

01:37:47.000 I don't like entertainment!

01:37:49.000 And a whole bunch of other stuff.

01:37:52.000 It's about having a healthy body image.

01:37:54.000 If you have a very unhealthy body, you should have a horrible body image.

01:37:56.000 Not a big home improvement market in Detroit.

01:37:59.000 We are definitely going to get letters.

01:38:01.000 You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. 0.97

01:38:05.000 You're a strange animal. 0.95

01:38:07.000 That's what I know. 0.99

01:38:09.000 You're getting louder with Crowder. 0.99

01:38:12.000 But you're a strange animal. 0.73

01:38:15.000 I got to follow. 0.90

01:38:17.000 Oh, I'm in the speedy to sound.

01:38:23.000 Glad to be back.

01:38:24.000 Third hour.

01:38:24.000 We're going to have Courtney with us after this.

01:38:27.000 We just had Tim Kennedy.

01:38:29.000 I know some people get mad if we talk about things that aren't political, like the fighting with Tim Kennedy.

01:38:33.000 Listen, I think he's an army ranger or paratrooper.

01:38:33.000 But that's his life.

01:38:36.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:38:37.000 That's why I say special forces.

01:38:38.000 Yeah, sniper or something like that.

01:38:39.000 Something like that.

01:38:40.000 Yeah, something...

01:38:41.000 Really cool.

01:38:42.000 Not someone you want to anger.

01:38:44.000 No.

01:38:44.000 But he's also obviously a noted conservative, very strong on military and foreign policy.

01:38:49.000 But the guy's also a fighter.

01:38:50.000 That's how he makes a living.

01:38:51.000 And, you know, you should go out and support guys like that, Tim Kennedy.

01:38:54.000 You should.

01:38:55.000 The guy has influence in a sphere outside of politics.

01:38:55.000 You should.

01:38:58.000 But I wanted to talk about something.

01:38:59.000 We were talking about this this week where we wrote an article up at Lauderwithcreditor.com.

01:39:03.000 Courtney helped me write this, that not all religions are the same.

01:39:10.000 Oh, yeah.

01:39:25.000 And I love those people that have the coexist, peaceful, and the Darwin fish.

01:39:29.000 It's like, listen, I'm not saying that you're wrong with the Darwin fish.

01:39:32.000 I'm not arguing with you against evolution.

01:39:33.000 That's not what I'm doing.

01:39:34.000 What I'm saying is that you're demanding people coexist and be peaceful, immediately followed by an incendiary bumper sticker.

01:39:43.000 You're culturally appropriating the Christian fish.

01:39:46.000 By the way, if you're talking about appropriation, it's not like dreadlocks, okay?

01:39:50.000 It's not like hip-hop music or something that cultures liked.

01:39:53.000 The reason Christians drew that fish was as a secret code, so they didn't die. 0.94

01:39:58.000 And you're appropriating it.

01:39:59.000 Just something to think about.

01:40:00.000 So, there's this argument that religion is the cause of all wars.

01:40:04.000 Um, no.

01:40:06.000 Now, of course, if that were the case, you wouldn't have had tribesmen warring.

01:40:11.000 People war over a lot of things.

01:40:12.000 They war over power.

01:40:13.000 They war over land.

01:40:14.000 They war over riches.

01:40:17.000 And by the way, it doesn't even have to be religion.

01:40:19.000 It can be any ideology.

01:40:20.000 That's important for people to know, because there's an argument that's used a lot.

01:40:23.000 And this is why we wrote...

01:40:24.000 Let me first start with the premise of the article before we get to that.

01:40:28.000 Of all the religions, there's one that causes a lot of problems, okay? 1.00

01:40:31.000 There's one that needs a timeout in 2016, and it's Islam. 1.00

01:40:34.000 I'm a Christian.

01:40:35.000 I don't try and proselytize all the time.

01:40:36.000 I'm not on here to convert anybody.

01:40:38.000 I'm not the perfect example.

01:40:40.000 I talk about that.

01:40:41.000 I'm open about that.

01:40:42.000 I'm also open about my faith.

01:40:44.000 However, I don't fear imminent decapitation from Buddhists or Hindus or Taoists or Scientologists. 0.98

01:40:52.000 Okay, Jehovah's Witnesses, yes, they're annoying. 1.00

01:40:55.000 I get it.

01:40:55.000 They're very annoying on a weekend when I don't want to have to put on pants and answer the door.

01:40:59.000 That being said, it's a small price to pay compared to being decapitated simply for not submitting to a religion. 0.57

01:41:05.000 Of all the religions in the world, you can argue that they're all wrong but yours. 0.99

01:41:10.000 And by the way, you should argue that.

01:41:11.000 When people say, well, who are you to think that your religion is right?

01:41:14.000 If you don't think your religion is right, if you don't think your faith is right... 0.90

01:41:19.000 Why bother?

01:41:19.000 Why?

01:41:20.000 Why bother?

01:41:21.000 It's kind of like my parents used to say when I was a kid.

01:41:23.000 Well, you just always think you're right, Steven.

01:41:26.000 Yes.

01:41:27.000 Otherwise, why would I think it?

01:41:29.000 Why would you act on something if you thought?

01:41:31.000 Why would I have an opinion if I thought, what am I going to have an opinion that I think is wrong?

01:41:34.000 I'm going to hold up fast to this really wrong opinion.

01:41:36.000 It doesn't mean that I can't be wrong, but naturally everyone's going to think they're right until proven wrong, and then you concede that territory.

01:41:44.000 I don't understand that you always think you're right.

01:41:47.000 Yeah, I guess that sounds about correct.

01:41:51.000 Islam is the one that is blowing up people in record numbers. 1.00

01:41:54.000 Islam is the one that can't play nice with anybody else. 1.00

01:41:56.000 It's kind of like one of those fish tanks.

01:41:58.000 You have all of those different fish, and you can have your guppies, you can have your goldfish, but then you have those little fish that look like they have the Cirque du Soleil sashes as they swim through, and they eat all the other fish.

01:42:09.000 It doesn't matter if all the other fish want peace.

01:42:11.000 That one's going to eat the other fish, and it happens.

01:42:15.000 That happens.

01:42:16.000 Anyone who screwed up with a fish tank, I did that as a kid.

01:42:19.000 Lesson learned.

01:42:21.000 I don't even know a lot about fish.

01:42:22.000 I know if they have the floaty sash looking fins, best to avoid.

01:42:27.000 Just because there's a chance.

01:42:29.000 I know there's a chance they're a good one.

01:42:30.000 Same thing with Islam right now. 0.98

01:42:32.000 Same thing with the refugees. 1.00

01:42:33.000 I can't know.

01:42:34.000 So I put a ban on my fish tank on all the fish with the cheeks and the things that look like Olympic ribbons.

01:42:42.000 Islam is the one religion that is a problem, and leftists want to throw them all in, and they like to appease Islam because, of course, political correctness is basically the people killed in terrorist attacks are sacrifices from the left at the altar of political correctness. 0.98

01:42:56.000 That's where we've gotten. 0.70

01:42:57.000 To say that we didn't know, we couldn't see this coming, we had no clue...

01:43:02.000 Oh my gosh.

01:43:03.000 It's not like a school shooting where people had no idea.

01:43:06.000 Some guy went nuts like the Kalamazoo shooter where people legitimately had no idea he thought Satan was talking to him through his Uber app.

01:43:12.000 They can say, we did not see this coming.

01:43:14.000 You can't say that with a guy who joins ISIS. You can't say that with a guy who says, maybe Sharia law.

01:43:20.000 So that's the point of the article.

01:43:21.000 We need to be honest about that.

01:43:23.000 Not all religions are the same. 0.99

01:43:24.000 Now we get these responses.

01:43:25.000 Religion are the cause of all wars. 1.00

01:43:26.000 A lot of people say that.

01:43:27.000 No, that's not true.

01:43:28.000 Again, ideology people can war over, even if they're atheists.

01:43:32.000 Now, am I saying that all atheists are responsible for Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot?

01:43:37.000 You know, of course, more deaths in modern history than religion.

01:43:40.000 No, I'm not.

01:43:41.000 I'm not laying at that at the feet of all atheists.

01:43:43.000 But those were people killed in the name of an ideology.

01:43:47.000 Atheism.

01:43:48.000 We've written about this on the site, the recent video on democratic socialism.

01:43:51.000 Lenin said that atheist propaganda was necessary for communism.

01:43:56.000 It was a part of the ideology.

01:43:59.000 Communism is a distinctly atheist ideology.

01:44:02.000 I'm not blaming atheists for the violence, okay?

01:44:05.000 Just like you don't need to blame Christians for the violence if the United States, for example, is at war with Iraq.

01:44:15.000 However, that is different.

01:44:17.000 You can blame the violence on an ideology that expressly calls across the board for violence, and people are following that in record numbers.

01:44:25.000 That's Islam. 0.83

01:44:26.000 Another thing people were sending me, and you probably saw this, Jared, people saying, well, religion doesn't create anything.

01:44:31.000 It only destroys.

01:44:32.000 There's nothing good to come from religion.

01:44:34.000 I'm trying to speak in only the physical sense here.

01:44:37.000 That's completely untrue.

01:44:39.000 What we have as far as modern history, right?

01:44:42.000 History as we know it, human civilization, goes back about 10,000 years.

01:44:47.000 Everything bloomed.

01:44:47.000 Boom!

01:44:48.000 We kind of had cavemen, and then modern history, where we have documented records we know a lot.

01:44:53.000 You're looking back about 10,000 years.

01:44:56.000 And if you want to talk about an incredible boom, it comes with Judaism, modern Christianity. 0.88

01:45:02.000 After Christianity, and by the way, not growing at the same rate as other countries. 0.56

01:45:06.000 That is important.

01:45:07.000 You may be an atheist, that's fine.

01:45:09.000 There are ideologies that lend themselves to growing, innovating more.

01:45:14.000 The pantheistic religions of the Native Americans, they didn't create anything. 1.00

01:45:17.000 They were here by the time the settlers got here, after the Greeks, after the Roman Empire, after the Ottoman Empire.

01:45:22.000 They were here after that.

01:45:24.000 And they didn't have the wheel.

01:45:27.000 There are places right now that are still, you know, they worship many gods.

01:45:31.000 Well, why is that the way?

01:45:32.000 Because the god of the water makes it that way.

01:45:35.000 Why is this happening?

01:45:36.000 Well, it's because of the god of the trees.

01:45:37.000 They don't know photosynthesis.

01:45:38.000 There's no reason to go forward and explore.

01:45:40.000 That's not the way Christianity was created. 0.87

01:45:42.000 That's why you look at the boom in modern science.

01:45:45.000 Also, some things to note.

01:45:47.000 And I know a lot of people say, well, that doesn't have anything to do with Christianity.

01:45:50.000 Historically, you can look and correlate it with this wonderful empire known as China.

01:45:54.000 That is true.

01:45:55.000 China made some brilliant advances in technology.

01:45:58.000 But if you then compare it to Christian nations afterward, big difference.

01:46:02.000 Look at where China is now, where the United States is now.

01:46:05.000 At some point, you can only make so many fireworks and giant dragon parades.

01:46:09.000 And we say, okay...

01:46:11.000 We get it, but what else do you have in your deck of cards?

01:46:12.000 But they're really cool.

01:46:14.000 They are really cool.

01:46:15.000 And the Chinese fireworks are the best fireworks.

01:46:16.000 We used to see the International Fireworks Show.

01:46:18.000 So again, that's important to note.

01:46:21.000 There is value.

01:46:22.000 Whether you're an atheist or not, you can't deny a historical value.

01:46:25.000 Just like I can't deny the historical value of Islam as far as architecture.

01:46:28.000 They haven't really done a lot for human rights, civil rights.

01:46:30.000 They haven't advanced that way.

01:46:31.000 Historically, Islam is not responsible for a lot of judicial practices or systems of law that any person in the modern world would be proud of. 1.00

01:46:39.000 I do think that as a Christian, one can be proud of the Constitution, which was expressly created around the central tenets of the Christian faith.

01:46:47.000 Something else.

01:46:48.000 People say, well, if you're only doing this because of some pie-in-the-sky fantasy because of God, you're a horrible person.

01:46:48.000 There are certain virtues.

01:46:55.000 That's an argument from atheists a lot.

01:46:56.000 This is all in response to the column.

01:46:58.000 I have it right here.

01:46:59.000 Why don't you do it because it's the right thing to do?

01:47:01.000 I understand that, and there's validity to that.

01:47:03.000 I don't believe every atheist is a bad person.

01:47:05.000 I don't believe it.

01:47:06.000 I know a lot of atheists who are very good people who want to do what is ethically correct, what is morally correct.

01:47:13.000 Okay?

01:47:13.000 I acknowledge that.

01:47:14.000 But you also have to understand...

01:47:17.000 That some of these virtues we now hold to be self-evident weren't at all.

01:47:22.000 Before modern Christendom, for example, compassion was not considered a virtue.

01:47:27.000 Look at all of these Greek philosophers.

01:47:29.000 Look at some of the great philosophers.

01:47:31.000 Look at some of the great leaders historically.

01:47:33.000 Compassion was seen as a weakness.

01:47:36.000 It was not seen as a virtue.

01:47:38.000 That came with Christendom.

01:47:42.000 And you can see that with, again, China, as the world developed, as human development exploded. 0.64

01:47:50.000 So that is important for people to note.

01:47:52.000 Listen, you don't have to be a Christian.

01:47:53.000 We don't have to agree on faith.

01:47:54.000 You may think it's entirely imaginary, and I have to leave room for the fact that you may be correct.

01:47:59.000 But in a purely physical sense, it is inaccurate to say religion is the cause of all wars, religion hasn't created anything, it's only destroyed, and it's very intellectually dishonest.

01:48:11.000 Assuming you've read up on any religion at all, assuming you've read your Quran even five pages in any direction, it's woefully intellectually disingenuous to say, well, Christianity is no better than Islam. 0.73

01:48:23.000 It's simply false. 0.88

01:48:24.000 It's verifiably false.

01:48:26.000 You can observe it through...

01:48:29.000 Mountains of data.

01:48:30.000 More than you could ever see in your lifetime.

01:48:32.000 More than you could ever read in your lifetime.

01:48:33.000 So I think it's important to make that argument.

01:48:35.000 Again, I'm not someone going out there.

01:48:36.000 I'm not a Christian apologist.

01:48:37.000 I'm not a historian.

01:48:39.000 But Courtney and I did write this article and it went up and there were a lot of reactions.

01:48:44.000 And I think that a lot of people just buy this wholesale because they believe what their professors tell them.

01:48:49.000 And they don't do a little bit of digging for themselves.

01:48:52.000 It's not to say that there haven't been some horrible acts committed in the name of many religions. 1.00

01:48:56.000 The difference is Islam historically has been spread through violence and the sword, and there haven't really been moments of peace globally with Islam. 0.99

01:49:05.000 It's just not the case. 0.96

01:49:06.000 And today, right now, living in reality, Islam is the problem. 1.00

01:49:12.000 There is not the same kind of destructive force, okay, at work here with Hinduism or Christianity. 1.00

01:49:19.000 It's Islam.

01:49:21.000 Sorry if that's not nice.

01:49:22.000 We'll be right back.

01:49:23.000 We'll be right back.

01:49:37.000 We'll be right back.

01:50:07.000 We'll be right back.

01:50:37.000 We'll be right back.

01:51:07.000 We'll be right back.

01:51:37.000 We'll be right back.

01:52:07.000 We'll be right back.

01:52:23.000 Oh, excuse me, sir.

01:52:25.000 Yeah, that's actually really offensive, perpetuating a negative Mexican stereotype.

01:52:32.000 You should do away with the sombreros here in your shop. 1.00

01:52:36.000 See?

01:52:37.000 Yes, I'm telling you it's offensive.

01:52:39.000 Offensive?

01:52:40.000 Yes, particularly to Mexicans.

01:52:43.000 No, I blame less.

01:52:44.000 Join us next week for more in Cultural Appropriation. .

01:52:56.000 Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, where I'm tweeting all day long.

01:53:07.000 I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.

01:53:09.000 You should see the amount of hate I get on there. 0.76

01:53:11.000 Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan. 1.00

01:53:16.000 So listen, it's free.

01:53:18.000 You get to be entertained and you can chime in.

01:53:20.000 Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets and maybe you'll be lucky enough.

01:53:25.000 And I mean lucky enough because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine to have your tweet to me or not gay Jared included in our rockinest tweet of the week. 0.73

01:53:36.000 So follow me on Twitter at escrowder.

01:53:38.000 If not, I don't want to say I have sights on your mother, but...

01:53:43.000 Oh, she's dead? 0.97

01:53:45.000 You're just saying that because I made a mom joke.

01:53:47.000 No, she's really dead? 0.75

01:53:47.000 Well, you kind of walked into it. 0.75

01:53:49.000 We'll see you next time.

01:54:15.000 Glad to be back.

01:54:16.000 And the only thing I will say to Nake Jared right now... 0.83

01:54:20.000 Your punishment must be must-be.

01:54:22.000 Lots of tech problems here in the studio.

01:54:24.000 Oh, I understand.

01:54:24.000 But we are going to be fixing them.

01:54:27.000 You know, sometimes let's just blame the Jews. 0.96

01:54:30.000 Well, the Chech doesn't work. 1.00

01:54:32.000 Well, the Chech are a problem. 1.00

01:54:34.000 The Chech. 0.64

01:54:35.000 The Chech? 0.66

01:54:36.000 I don't know.

01:54:36.000 The Chech.

01:54:38.000 I don't know the exact case.

01:54:40.000 So, we talked about a few things earlier.

01:54:42.000 We had a video that went up this morning, and I wanted to talk about it because when we did this video, it was like 30 minutes, right, Natke, Jared, before we cut it down?

01:54:49.000 Yeah, it was, yeah.

01:54:51.000 And it's this idea, for some reason people have bought into the idea of democratic socialism.

01:54:56.000 Everything old is new again.

01:54:57.000 You see the girls now walking around with the high-waisted pants? 0.99

01:55:00.000 They look like Ferris Bueller's sister.

01:55:01.000 It's true.

01:55:02.000 It's not entirely awful, but it's pretty bad.

01:55:02.000 It's true.

01:55:05.000 It's pretty bad.

01:55:05.000 Yeah.

01:55:06.000 I don't think it's bad.

01:55:06.000 I don't mind the look.

01:55:07.000 You don't like the high-waisted pants?

01:55:09.000 I go back and forth on it.

01:55:10.000 I don't know.

01:55:11.000 Guys or girls?

01:55:12.000 No, girls. 1.00

01:55:13.000 I don't think guys are doing it.

01:55:14.000 Are guys doing the full Shwayze Roadhouse?

01:55:16.000 Tweet me at S. Crowder.

01:55:17.000 Is that a trend now?

01:55:19.000 I've been looking the wrong way.

01:55:20.000 Well, Schwayze can pull it off.

01:55:22.000 Swayze can do a good job of that.

01:55:24.000 There's no one more masculine doing a pirouette than Patrick Swayze.

01:55:28.000 The world lost a talent.

01:55:30.000 So, democratic socialism.

01:55:32.000 Everything old is new again.

01:55:33.000 This is what Bernie Sanders puts out there.

01:55:34.000 And we felt it necessary to debunk this.

01:55:37.000 A lot of people, when you're listening terrestrially, say, well, why aren't you focusing on Hillary?

01:55:42.000 There will be plenty of time to focus on Hillary if she is the nominee. 1.00

01:55:45.000 Trust us.

01:55:46.000 We have plenty in store.

01:55:47.000 We need to pace ourselves here.

01:55:50.000 But right now, Bernie is the movement candidate.

01:55:52.000 Hillary will win probably because of the way the system operates and the superdelegates go. 1.00

01:55:58.000 Now, keep in mind, I think at this point in the last election, Hillary was a deadlock, and the superdelegates, a lot of them went the other way with Barack Obama.

01:56:05.000 Highly unlikely with Bernie because he's been more of an outcast, whereas Barack Obama wasn't unknown.

01:56:12.000 I don't think Bernie has that many friends in the Democratic Party compared to Barack Obama.

01:56:17.000 So it's very likely that it goes to Hillary Clinton because democracy. 0.99

01:56:20.000 It's nothing but superdelegates who pick the nominee. 0.91

01:56:23.000 But the reason we focus on Bernie Sanders is because, obviously, as a younger American, under 30...

01:56:30.000 He's the guy who people are really looking to.

01:56:33.000 He's more popular than Barack Obama in a lot of ways.

01:56:35.000 He's the movement candidate.

01:56:36.000 And people really believe that democratic socialism is somehow different from socialism socialism.

01:56:41.000 When we talked about this, we have it up at the site from the Democratic Socialists of America, their very own site.

01:56:46.000 They talk about how they believe that means of production should be put in the hands of the workers.

01:56:51.000 How basically the eventual goal is to do away with private corporations.

01:56:56.000 This is what people believe.

01:56:57.000 And something that's interesting, it came out, we talked about this earlier.

01:57:01.000 Maybe I didn't talk about it earlier.

01:57:02.000 I think I was talking on maybe Glenn Beck's show about it.

01:57:05.000 There have been polls that have come out.

01:57:07.000 Something that's very telling.

01:57:08.000 Cuban Americans, Ted Cruz talked about this.

01:57:10.000 You were either a Republican or a communist.

01:57:12.000 That's how they saw you.

01:57:13.000 But for the first time in a recent poll, younger Cuban Americans, it's flipped, where 57% of them, I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, have a positive view of socialism.

01:57:27.000 And that's a first.

01:57:28.000 But what does that tell you?

01:57:29.000 What the poll doesn't tell you is these are kids who were raised in the United States.

01:57:34.000 They didn't come from Cuba.

01:57:35.000 They didn't come from a socialist country.

01:57:37.000 There's a lot of that girl that was at the Bernie rally.

01:57:39.000 Remember her?

01:57:40.000 She talked about her parents had an unfavorable view of socialized medicine, came from Canada, and she just couldn't grasp why they were so turned off by it.

01:57:49.000 And they're like, oh, you've spent your entire life in America.

01:57:51.000 You don't really know anything.

01:57:52.000 No.

01:57:53.000 And she didn't seem to like America very much.

01:57:55.000 I don't think she necessarily...

01:57:56.000 Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island? 1.00

01:57:58.000 It's not an island, to be fair.

01:58:01.000 It's more of a peninsula.

01:58:02.000 It's more of a peninsula.

01:58:02.000 It is, yeah.

01:58:03.000 We know people will fact check us on that.

01:58:08.000 But this is something that's okay.

01:58:09.000 Kids have embraced it.

01:58:10.000 Another study that came out, another poll that came out, you have kids who have something over 50%.

01:58:15.000 So numbers were always between 50 and 60.

01:58:17.000 Over 50% of people aged 35 and younger had a favorable view of socialism and said they would be willing to vote for someone who was self-defined as a socialist.

01:58:27.000 When asked if they were willing to pay higher taxes, however, that number flipped.

01:58:31.000 Something very interesting.

01:58:32.000 If they had been in the workforce for three or more years, that number was cut in almost half.

01:58:38.000 So it is true.

01:58:39.000 Life turns you into something more conservative, right?

01:58:42.000 Life turns people conservative, at least libertarian, once they start paying taxes.

01:58:47.000 If they start paying taxes, they see how painful it is.

01:58:50.000 Also, we didn't talk about this.

01:58:52.000 Bernie Sanders, there was a plan.

01:58:53.000 It was added up, the math.

01:58:54.000 We have it at the website.

01:58:55.000 If you are making $50,000 a year, Okay, under a Bernie Sanders plan.

01:58:59.000 There's this idea people buy for some reason with Bernie Sanders.

01:59:02.000 And it's something, if you're listening, you need to know this.

01:59:04.000 Because people assume, well, since the rich will pay their fair share, the rich will pay more.

01:59:08.000 People pulling the lever for Bernie or Hillary think, naturally, the middle class and the poor will pay less. 0.93

01:59:14.000 No.

01:59:15.000 You'll pay more.

01:59:17.000 The rich will just pay more and more.

01:59:19.000 So to give you an example, under Bernie's plan, the additional tax burden on someone or a household making $50,000 a year, $50,000, a very far cry from the top.1% or 1% or 10%, unless you're talking globally, then you are in the top 10%.

01:59:35.000 $50,000 a year, you will be paying over $5,000 more than what you're paying currently under a Bernie Sanders plan.

01:59:44.000 Contrast that with Ted Cruz, where it would be $2,000 less.

01:59:48.000 And Donald Trump, I think over $3,000 less.

01:59:51.000 Hillary Clinton was about the same with $65 more.

01:59:54.000 Now, if you make up to a million, you'll be paying $160,000 more with Bernie Sanders.

02:00:00.000 So people see that number, but they don't understand, yeah, if you're making $50,000, you'll pay $5,000 more.

02:00:05.000 That's still 10%.

02:00:06.000 And what people don't tell you with the Bernie Sanders plan, this democratic socialism, is the 6% payroll tax, which will be passed on to consumers, the mandatory health care tax.

02:00:16.000 Something that's really important, we talk about democratic socialism.

02:00:19.000 We have all the numbers in this video and we talk about why it doesn't work, how it implodes.

02:00:22.000 But there is a very, very important ethical component here.

02:00:29.000 Healthcare and school needs to be a human right.

02:00:33.000 School.

02:00:33.000 People should get free school.

02:00:36.000 Okay, what if I choose not to go to school?

02:00:40.000 What if I choose not to go to college?

02:00:41.000 What if I choose instead to take one of those high-paying, skilled trade jobs, like Mike Rowe talks about, and start my own business and make a good income?

02:00:50.000 But I chose not to go to school as a business decision.

02:00:53.000 What is moral about taking my money and forcing me to pay for someone's eight-year gender studies degree?

02:01:02.000 What is moral?

02:01:03.000 What if I want to pay bare minimum health care insurance, high deductible, catastrophic, and have an HSA? How is it ethical for you to say, no, you made this decision, but we're going to charge you anyway, and we're going to do it at gunpoint.

02:01:16.000 That's what the government does.

02:01:17.000 Scary men take you away with guns if you don't pay your taxes.

02:01:21.000 How is that fair?

02:01:22.000 How is that just?

02:01:24.000 Yeah, the numbers don't add up.

02:01:25.000 It's also morally reprehensible to remove the autonomy of a human being to make their own choices.

02:01:33.000 And nobody talks about that because, oh, the feels and the hugs.

02:01:37.000 Speaking of which, we're going to get nice and fuzzy with Courtney Kirchhoff after this.

02:01:41.000 Stay tuned.

02:01:42.000 This is breaking news on Water Wolf Crawler.

02:02:10.000 I'm Perry Matheson.

02:02:11.000 We now take you live to Donald Trump's campaign stop in New York at this week's Little League game.

02:02:20.000 Alright, I love baseball.

02:02:21.000 It's the American pastime.

02:02:22.000 I'm playing so much.

02:02:23.000 You know, I could have gone pro.

02:02:24.000 If not for the Bospers. 1.00

02:02:26.000 I could have gone pro at ball.

02:02:27.000 A lot of people, they say, yeah, we're so good at baseball.

02:02:29.000 The best.

02:02:30.000 Trump, you ready?

02:02:30.000 Okay, Mr.

02:02:31.000 Yeah, okay.

02:02:32.000 Frankly, throw me everything you got, Jimmy.

02:02:34.000 Hey, come on, listen.

02:02:35.000 You're throwing heat.

02:02:36.000 You're trying to hit me.

02:02:37.000 What's going on?

02:02:38.000 I can't help it.

02:02:39.000 You're crowding the plate.

02:02:40.000 I'm not crowding the plate.

02:02:41.000 Don't get cute, okay?

02:02:42.000 Alright, okay.

02:02:44.000 Let's go.

02:02:45.000 Hey, come on. 0.77

02:02:45.000 What the hell are you doing here? 0.77

02:02:46.000 Okay? 0.98

02:02:47.000 You're trying to throw heat at me.

02:02:48.000 I can't help it.

02:02:49.000 I'm only six.

02:02:50.000 I'm not that accurate.

02:02:51.000 Okay.

02:02:52.000 Okay.

02:02:52.000 All right.

02:02:52.000 Frankly, I'll show you accurate.

02:02:54.000 Okay.

02:02:55.000 Come here.

02:02:55.000 Come here, Jimmy.

02:02:55.000 Come here.

02:02:56.000 Come here.

02:02:57.000 I said, come on.

02:02:57.000 What are you doing?

02:02:58.000 It's your Trump.

02:02:59.000 Oh, my God.

02:03:00.000 Donald Trump knocked Jimmy unconscious.

02:03:03.000 Okay.

02:03:04.000 Truthfully, he started it.

02:03:07.000 We will keep you abreast.

02:03:09.000 For louder with Crowder, I'm Harry Mahoghan.

02:03:15.000 All right.

02:03:33.000 Sorry for all the tech issues that have been going on.

02:03:35.000 Of course, if you're listening terrestrially, you don't face any of these.

02:03:38.000 Because you're only listening through your radio.

02:03:40.000 Isn't that nice?

02:03:41.000 On with us.

02:03:43.000 I guess I need to get her theme song ready.

02:03:43.000 Oh, gosh.

02:03:45.000 This is a nightmare tonight, Jared.

02:03:48.000 People are calling for your firing all over right now.

02:03:50.000 Do you realize this?

02:03:52.000 And you didn't even have your microphone on.

02:03:52.000 Yeah.

02:03:54.000 It's pretty much a normal day.

02:03:55.000 Oh, right.

02:03:56.000 When you hear the sound, you know who it is.

02:03:56.000 Okay.

02:03:58.000 You can follow her at Courtney Scoffs because she scoffs at you. 1.00

02:04:09.000 Courtney Kirchhoff is with us.

02:04:10.000 Courtney, can you hear me?

02:04:12.000 Glad to be here.

02:04:13.000 There you go.

02:04:14.000 Look at you, all blonde. 1.00

02:04:15.000 Your tan is slowly fading, though.

02:04:17.000 Well, it shouldn't be, because I'm working on it.

02:04:20.000 It's been sunny all week here.

02:04:21.000 Well, maybe it's just the lighting.

02:04:23.000 It's glorious.

02:04:24.000 I have no idea.

02:04:25.000 But with those high-tech headphones, she looks like the blonde guy in the Burger King Kids Club. 0.92

02:04:28.000 Remember the one with the gadgets?

02:04:30.000 Yes.

02:04:31.000 Do you remember the Burger King Kids Club, Courtney?

02:04:32.000 No.

02:04:33.000 The crowns were the best part.

02:04:35.000 It was the crown, but it was like the perfectly politically correct club.

02:04:38.000 There was the black kid with the high and tight hair. 1.00

02:04:41.000 There was the redhead. 1.00

02:04:42.000 There was the girl who was in the wheelchair.

02:04:44.000 There was the tomboy.

02:04:45.000 And there was the tech nerd.

02:04:46.000 So everyone was included.

02:04:48.000 Well, that's nice.

02:04:50.000 The Burger King Kids Club.

02:04:52.000 It's cool to be a kid.

02:04:53.000 I can't believe you don't remember that.

02:04:54.000 And eat meat.

02:04:55.000 No, I can't remember that.

02:04:57.000 I remember the Care Bears, though.

02:04:59.000 I remember the Care Bears.

02:05:00.000 My little pony.

02:05:01.000 Well, Zuckerberg believes that that is a fulcrum for foreign policy, so I think it's been more influential than people realize.

02:05:07.000 Now, wait a second.

02:05:08.000 Have we tried it yet?

02:05:09.000 Have we tried when ISIS is going after us, just saying, hey, you guys, let's just hug it out?

02:05:16.000 To be fair, we can't 100% say no.

02:05:19.000 Right.

02:05:20.000 Maybe just the one time whoever attempted it just got blown to bits.

02:05:28.000 Well, I don't know, because generally speaking, the people who've tried it probably never lived to tell the tale.

02:05:33.000 Speaking of which, you got a lot of flack.

02:05:35.000 You were exposed to the underbelly of the Internet when you wrote about how real men can't vote for Bernie Sanders.

02:05:40.000 You've written a couple of columns this week.

02:05:42.000 We've written some together, some you've written by yourself.

02:05:45.000 Which one has garnered the biggest reaction for you, and what are the colorful names people are using?

02:05:53.000 Well, after the Bernie Sanders, you're not a real man.

02:05:56.000 I still stand by that, by the way.

02:05:58.000 Even if you're a socialist and you're working and you're providing for yourself, if you still believe that other men or other people should pay for other people, even if you're working, you're still not a man.

02:06:10.000 So the column that I wrote tonight was Millennials, this love with socialism, this infatuation they have with socialism is going to unwind America.

02:06:21.000 The reason that is American exceptionalism, the reason we're exceptional, it's not because we think...

02:06:27.000 Americans are better than everyone else, though.

02:06:29.000 I do think so.

02:06:30.000 Parentheses, I was going to say, parentheses, we are.

02:06:33.000 But it's because our country was founded on the notion that man is free, that people are free to make their own choices, they're free to lead their own lives.

02:06:41.000 Socialism comes in and says, no, you're really not.

02:06:44.000 We're the government.

02:06:45.000 We've been elected.

02:06:46.000 We read off teleprompters.

02:06:47.000 We're going to tell you how to best lead your life, and we're going to make everything fair and equal.

02:06:53.000 And those who are successful and get all of their finances removed from them simply have to bend over and take it.

02:07:00.000 Yes.

02:07:00.000 And take it.

02:07:01.000 Yeah.

02:07:02.000 And that's just wholly un-American.

02:07:04.000 And unfortunately, a lot of millennials, it just sounds so nice and fuzzy.

02:07:10.000 Socialism, equality, it's fairness.

02:07:12.000 You know, privilege is wiped out.

02:07:14.000 Nobody has advantages anymore.

02:07:16.000 Well...

02:07:17.000 That means that nobody can be great.

02:07:19.000 Right.

02:07:20.000 It's a good point, and I think you touched on something that a lot of people don't realize.

02:07:23.000 You know, we talk about cultural appropriation.

02:07:25.000 People talk about culture.

02:07:27.000 A lot of the time people say, well, America is the only country that does this.

02:07:32.000 That's kind of the point.

02:07:33.000 That is American culture.

02:07:35.000 I mean, if we have to turn a blind eye to Islamic culture, or what is a horrible culture, Mexican culture, you look at what they have. 1.00

02:07:40.000 They have a very defined culture.

02:07:42.000 American culture is a set of ideals, and those ideals included the rejection of a big centralized government, whether it be through a monarchy, which paved the way, of course, for basically European socialism.

02:07:53.000 I don't understand why people can't accept that America is the only country that does this.

02:07:58.000 Well, you don't have a problem when Mexico is the only country that does this.

02:08:00.000 You don't have a problem when Sweden is the only country that does this.

02:08:03.000 You don't have a problem when Nicaragua is the only country.

02:08:05.000 Why is it a problem when the United States is the only one to do it? 0.98

02:08:08.000 Is it just because we kick ass and take names? 0.98

02:08:11.000 I think so. 0.98

02:08:12.000 We're the only one who's landed on the moon.

02:08:15.000 We're the only country who's probably going to cure cancer. 1.00

02:08:18.000 We're the only country who's done a lot of things, and maybe it's because we don't have these stupid socialist programs for ninnies who can't take care of themselves. 1.00

02:08:27.000 I think what we have now, people who don't know how to take care of themselves, and as soon as they learn, as soon as they start paying for themselves, they don't want to pay for everyone else who decides, you know... 0.98

02:08:39.000 I just don't feel like working.

02:08:40.000 It's too hard.

02:08:40.000 It's not fair.

02:08:41.000 That's inevitably what happens.

02:08:43.000 Yeah, and there's a huge switch.

02:08:45.000 As soon as people start working for themselves and you ask them, you just talked about it.

02:08:49.000 As soon as you ask them, okay, well, we'll do all these social programs.

02:08:53.000 The problem is you're going to have to fit the bill.

02:08:55.000 All of a sudden it's...

02:08:56.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

02:08:57.000 I didn't mean that.

02:08:59.000 I mean, I'm just kidding.

02:09:01.000 I don't actually want socialism.

02:09:03.000 Yeah, you're no longer on your parents' plan.

02:09:05.000 So, buy your health.

02:09:07.000 Well, you have to pay the penalty.

02:09:07.000 No, no, no, no.

02:09:09.000 I'll go back to my parents' plan.

02:09:11.000 No, you can't do that. 1.00

02:09:12.000 Damn it. 0.99

02:09:13.000 And it's called the shared responsibility. 1.00

02:09:16.000 Right.

02:09:17.000 Shared responsibility.

02:09:18.000 I don't even know how that works.

02:09:20.000 Do you think it'll fix itself, though?

02:09:22.000 I mean, listen, you look at the baby boomers, and that was a switch. 1.00

02:09:24.000 You had the pot-smoking hippies, who then became one of the most conservative generations ever, which, of course, is bemoaned by the writers, the staff writers at HuffPo.

02:09:33.000 It seems like now these Bernie Sanders kids are just the San Francisco retreads.

02:09:37.000 Do you think as they get skin in the game, they'll just become more conservative?

02:09:41.000 I sure hope so. 0.64

02:09:43.000 Every generation before always talks about how the next generation is just a bunch of whiny babies.

02:09:48.000 So there's hope.

02:09:50.000 I also saw a poll just a little while ago that said millennials favored Ted Cruz way over Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

02:09:59.000 I don't remember exactly why they did it.

02:10:03.000 I am skeptical of that, Paul.

02:10:04.000 We've also never seen a real conservative leader.

02:10:09.000 We've never seen it.

02:10:10.000 We were too young for Reagan.

02:10:13.000 You know, we were too young.

02:10:15.000 I was just starting to remember.

02:10:17.000 I can only remember Bill Clinton, barely.

02:10:20.000 I just remember my parents going, oh my gosh, I can't believe we have this.

02:10:23.000 But we were too young.

02:10:25.000 We've not seen actual conservatives.

02:10:27.000 Bill Clinton forced the birds and the bees talk to be thrust upon an entire generation a little earlier than mom and pop wanted it to be. 0.51

02:10:33.000 So true.

02:10:34.000 I didn't know what your definition of is is.

02:10:37.000 I didn't know what the word neuter meant until the...

02:10:39.000 Remember the phrase, neuter Bill?

02:10:41.000 That was a big thing that came out?

02:10:42.000 Yeah.

02:10:43.000 I learned.

02:10:43.000 I didn't know.

02:10:44.000 I learned.

02:10:45.000 Yeah, I remember my dad did that whole is, is.

02:10:47.000 I was like, well, what does he mean? 0.90

02:10:48.000 He goes, well, what he means is he has had sex with women who weren't his wife.

02:10:52.000 But he's not... 0.90

02:10:53.000 He goes, but...

02:10:54.000 He goes, you know what sex is.

02:10:55.000 You know what sex is. 1.00

02:10:56.000 I taught you about that, how babies are made, penis and vagina. 1.00

02:10:58.000 You know sex. 0.99

02:10:59.000 I was like, no, I don't need to explain it. 0.89

02:11:00.000 He goes, what he is trying to say is, I have had sex with women who are not my wife, but I am not currently under this table while he was in the stand. 0.98

02:11:07.000 I go, Dad, are you pulling one on me? 0.98

02:11:09.000 He goes, no, no, no.

02:11:09.000 That's what he was trying to do.

02:11:11.000 And that was the day I decided I was a Republican.

02:11:14.000 Also, little known fact, talk about being young, my wife checked her closet for O.J. Simpson.

02:11:21.000 Wow, yeah, I remember that too.

02:11:23.000 Fifth grade.

02:11:24.000 I was in fifth grade when that was going on.

02:11:25.000 All she saw was the tabloids.

02:11:27.000 Murderer's wife, O.J. Simpson. 0.98

02:11:29.000 So she just saw the headlines and she thought he was a monster.

02:11:32.000 She was terrified of O.J. Simpson.

02:11:34.000 And yet the jury acquitted him.

02:11:37.000 Well, racism. 0.99

02:11:38.000 She's just a racist, yeah. 1.00

02:11:40.000 Your wife's a racist. 1.00

02:11:41.000 She is a racist. 1.00

02:11:43.000 And then it was, now there's the OJ. I haven't watched the OJ show. 0.98

02:11:47.000 I hear John Travolta is really gay unnecessarily. 1.00

02:11:49.000 Yeah, he's kind of creepy in it. 0.93

02:11:50.000 But that said, I actually kind of enjoy the show. 0.97

02:11:53.000 And maybe I'm just, it's really stupid, but this one doesn't seem to have a really particular... 0.97

02:12:00.000 Black Lives Matter bents that it could have. 0.97

02:12:02.000 It talks a lot about it, but it paints them more unfavorably than the prosecution.

02:12:05.000 No, no, no, no.

02:12:06.000 O.J. is a black eye on the Black Lives Matter people. 1.00

02:12:09.000 They all know he did it.

02:12:10.000 Well, sure, but they could have gone that way with this series, which is funny because the next one they're supposed to talk about, the next season is supposed to be on Katrina, and it's called American Crime Series.

02:12:22.000 So you know what angle they're taking with that one.

02:12:24.000 You know who is the villain of Katrina.

02:12:26.000 Why don't we have courtroom if we're just going to talk? 1.00

02:12:28.000 Shut up. 0.99

02:12:29.000 These are good questions. 1.00

02:12:29.000 He's jealous of my blonde hair. 1.00

02:12:31.000 Yeah.

02:12:32.000 These are good questions.

02:12:32.000 Because he's not gay.

02:12:34.000 It's a problem, okay? 0.95

02:12:36.000 Stop it, Jared.

02:12:37.000 This is a nice lady. 1.00

02:12:39.000 Okay, so you wrote this column on the millennials.

02:12:41.000 What's the reaction coming?

02:12:43.000 I don't like to just crap on millennials because they can be very innovative.

02:12:46.000 They can be very productive.

02:12:47.000 Well, see, yeah.

02:12:48.000 I mean, the three of us are millennials.

02:12:49.000 Right. 0.99

02:12:50.000 You don't suck. 0.99

02:12:51.000 I don't think. 0.99

02:12:52.000 I mean, we're going to get tweets that say, okay, actually, I've got news for you.

02:12:59.000 It's true.

02:13:00.000 I wouldn't put it past me.

02:13:02.000 But that's one thing.

02:13:04.000 A lot of Republicans just lose them.

02:13:06.000 And I think if people...

02:13:07.000 Listen, you write a headline, and it's eye-catching.

02:13:10.000 But if people read it, it's informative.

02:13:13.000 And it just seems like...

02:13:14.000 It should be uplifting.

02:13:16.000 See, I think...

02:13:16.000 It's uplifting.

02:13:18.000 I really think a big problem here is it's a cultural one.

02:13:22.000 A lot of people of our generation were raised in a single-parent household or to divorced parents.

02:13:28.000 My mother told me from a young age, you can do anything you put your mind to.

02:13:32.000 She told it to me multiple times.

02:13:33.000 It's stuck.

02:13:34.000 I think a lot of people didn't have that.

02:13:37.000 They didn't have a support system.

02:13:39.000 So they're looking to daddy government to support them now.

02:13:42.000 I wish...

02:13:45.000 It's hard to work for yourself.

02:13:47.000 It's hard to be independent.

02:13:49.000 It's hard to be free.

02:13:50.000 But it's way better than being a succubus on the government teat.

02:13:56.000 No, it is for you.

02:13:57.000 It is for you.

02:13:58.000 It is for me.

02:13:59.000 Respectfully, a lot of people, it's why there are fewer business owners than there are people who want to look for jobs.

02:14:05.000 That's a less extreme version.

02:14:06.000 But a lot of people don't feel bad about themselves being on welfare with a smartphone and hate tweeting you.

02:14:13.000 That may be true and that's scary.

02:14:15.000 But if they think that's the norm, if they don't know if there's something better out there, You know, I don't know what to tell them.

02:14:24.000 It's true.

02:14:25.000 Yeah, I think there are a lot of people on welfare who don't believe in themselves.

02:14:29.000 You know, if you go to a state park, they tell you not to feed the animals.

02:14:32.000 Why?

02:14:33.000 Because they're going to get dependent.

02:14:34.000 So we're doing that to people, though.

02:14:37.000 We're feeding the people, and we're not letting them fend for themselves.

02:14:41.000 Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

02:14:46.000 I like that analogy.

02:14:48.000 Yeah.

02:14:49.000 I do.

02:14:50.000 And it's the same people, right, that are saying don't feed the deer.

02:14:53.000 The deer need to forage.

02:14:54.000 Well, no, bears.

02:14:55.000 And bears.

02:14:56.000 In Yellowstone, that's a big problem.

02:14:58.000 And then people see the park rangers, you know, taking out a bear, and they've done everything they can.

02:15:02.000 You know, they'll scare them away from people.

02:15:05.000 They want them to be scared from people because that's the only way they're independent.

02:15:07.000 Yeah.

02:15:08.000 And then people think it's mean, and they're going, no, we're actually not being mean.

02:15:11.000 We're the people who are, we've studied bears our whole lives.

02:15:14.000 If they keep coming in, it's going to be dangerous.

02:15:16.000 They can kill it. 0.93

02:15:17.000 We have to get them back out of here.

02:15:19.000 You give them a few picnic baskets and send them on their way, and all of a sudden they're labeled as hate mongers against bears.

02:15:26.000 That is a good analogy.

02:15:27.000 Don't feed the animals.

02:15:29.000 My grandparents live on the water in Florida with gators literally in their backyard, and they've had neighbors eating because they got too friendly and fed the gators over and over and over again.

02:15:37.000 Want to hear a table turn?

02:15:39.000 I've eaten gator.

02:15:40.000 Oh, nice.

02:15:41.000 Does it taste like chicken?

02:15:42.000 It actually does.

02:15:43.000 It tastes kind of like a middle ground between chicken and calamari.

02:15:46.000 Sorry, I interrupted you, good Courtney.

02:15:47.000 Continue.

02:15:48.000 No, I was going to make a joke about don't be the Bernie Sanders people or they're going to eat you like an alligator.

02:15:54.000 Not your best work.

02:15:55.000 No.

02:15:56.000 No.

02:15:57.000 So maybe it was good that I was interrupted.

02:16:01.000 I am dead inside.

02:16:02.000 I wouldn't.

02:16:03.000 You need to write better.

02:16:05.000 I just, I don't know.

02:16:07.000 I've come to expect so much of her.

02:16:08.000 And then every now and then she just disappears.

02:16:10.000 I'm funny in writing.

02:16:11.000 I'm not as funny in person.

02:16:12.000 No, but I think it's a good point, and I hope people do read it.

02:16:14.000 It is a column that I think a lot of people need to read, and there's a lot of information in there.

02:16:18.000 And like we've talked about, this is kind of a movement among millennials right now that I think a lot of older people aren't aware just how comfortable they are with full-fledged socialism. 0.96

02:16:29.000 Yeah, and we also, you know what, we also are a generation where we have the Mark Zuckerbergs, who is two weeks younger than me, so hashtag perspective, hashtag I suck.

02:16:40.000 So we have people who are our age who are billionaires, and we look at that and we go, God, that would be nice.

02:16:47.000 That's not fair.

02:16:48.000 And we start with that.

02:16:49.000 That's not fair.

02:16:50.000 This is true, but we have to go.

02:16:52.000 Follow her at Courtney Scoffs, and of course, read her writing at laudoworthcrader.com.

02:16:55.000 Courtney, thank you so much.

02:16:56.000 We'll have you back.

02:16:57.000 Live with Crudders, stay tuned.

02:16:58.000 tuned.

02:16:58.000 This week in cultural appropriation.

02:17:26.000 No more cultural appropriation!

02:17:29.000 Time to do away with Chinese slippers! 0.99

02:17:32.000 Time to do away with Chinese slippers! 0.99

02:17:36.000 So glad we're out here marching.

02:17:37.000 The Chinese have had their culture appropriated long enough! 1.00

02:17:41.000 Yeah, totally.

02:17:42.000 Does anyone know why Chang didn't show up?

02:17:42.000 I'm with you.

02:17:44.000 Hey, there he is.

02:17:44.000 Yeah, where is Chang?

02:17:46.000 Chang, we're doing the protest for the Chinese slippers.

02:17:46.000 Chang!

02:17:49.000 Why aren't you here with us?

02:17:50.000 Chinese slippers?

02:17:51.000 Yeah, the Chinese slippers.

02:17:53.000 It's offensive.

02:17:54.000 You should be marching with us in unity.

02:17:56.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:17:58.000 I'm too busy taking your job.

02:18:00.000 What?

02:18:01.000 Yes, I just buy a shop across the street.

02:18:03.000 You mean the one where I work?

02:18:05.000 Used to work.

02:18:07.000 Enjoy your march!

02:18:11.000 Join us next week for more in Cultural Appropriation.

02:18:18.000 Transcription by CastingWords

02:18:44.000 All right, glad to be back.

02:18:58.000 Last hour.

02:18:59.000 Last segment.

02:19:01.000 Last hour.

02:19:01.000 Last segment.

02:19:02.000 Last segment of the show.

02:19:03.000 I'd like to say this show went by quickly, but good lord.

02:19:07.000 Always grateful to be here, to be with you, and to be picked up by more stations and growing online.

02:19:13.000 By the next time I speak with you, the election, the primary will have shaken up possibly quite differently from today with Wisconsin.

02:19:21.000 And I guess it's a big battleground state right now.

02:19:25.000 And it seems like things are changing.

02:19:27.000 Also, I'll probably be employed elsewhere.

02:19:31.000 Not Gay Jared. 1.00

02:19:32.000 We'll definitely need to seek employment elsewhere.

02:19:34.000 If anyone out there is looking for...

02:19:39.000 A right in the middle of the pack, depending on his mood, producer slash editor.

02:19:47.000 He might be your man.

02:19:50.000 And that's actually what I've written on his letter of recommendation.

02:19:52.000 I just have stacks of them at the ready.

02:19:55.000 But no one takes them.

02:19:57.000 Well, you got...

02:19:57.000 No, you have the jacks of all trades.

02:20:00.000 Then you got, like...

02:20:02.000 The eights.

02:20:04.000 Those have to exist, too.

02:20:06.000 I'm kind of like the four of all trades.

02:20:08.000 Before I get to the jacks and the aces.

02:20:10.000 Do you know that expression, a jack of all trades, master of...

02:20:14.000 Back to you, Stephen.

02:20:17.000 Jack of all trades, master of none?

02:20:19.000 None, yes.

02:20:19.000 Yeah, you've heard that?

02:20:20.000 Yeah.

02:20:20.000 Yeah, it's not the actual phrase.

02:20:21.000 Really?

02:20:22.000 The actual phrase...

02:20:24.000 Gerald Morgan, I think, told me about this.

02:20:24.000 I have hope.

02:20:27.000 It may have been on the show about a year ago, and I don't know if it was Madison, Washington, it was one of the founding fathers, somewhere back there.

02:20:35.000 So please don't misquote me here.

02:20:37.000 Someone can find it.

02:20:38.000 My internet's not working.

02:20:40.000 It was Jack of all trades, master of one.

02:20:44.000 And it was basically, and it was really in the context of for a man...

02:20:48.000 Clearly there was an Asian there somewhere translating this phrase over the decades.

02:20:52.000 No, then it was used to mock the phrase.

02:20:54.000 And the mocking phrase became more popular than the original phrase.

02:20:57.000 The mocking phrase became the colloquialism.

02:21:01.000 No, I didn't have a stroke.

02:21:03.000 I just mispronounced a word.

02:21:06.000 You can forgive Donald Trump.

02:21:07.000 Why not me?

02:21:08.000 I'm going to use the best words.

02:21:09.000 So, Jack of all trades, master of one was the term.

02:21:14.000 And that was actually, it was spoken in reference, if you look at its context.

02:21:17.000 I remember reading about this.

02:21:18.000 Gosh, I wish I had it in front of me.

02:21:20.000 Of what is required for a man to succeed, particularly excellence.

02:21:25.000 And Teddy Roosevelt wrote a lot about this.

02:21:27.000 I know he sort of expanded government to a level with which I wasn't comfortable.

02:21:30.000 But personally, a fascinating, fascinating character in history.

02:21:35.000 The idea that a man needs to be equipped needs to be capable needs to be adept in all areas But absolutely fantastic in one is how you succeed, is what is necessary to be a completed man.

02:21:49.000 So it's one thing, if you're an intellectual, yeah, you still need to be able to do some push-ups.

02:21:53.000 You still need to be able to clean up around the house.

02:21:57.000 You still need to be able to survive, right?

02:21:59.000 If you're a great soldier, you still need to be able to read books.

02:22:03.000 You still need to be able to process information.

02:22:05.000 You still need to be able to communicate effectively.

02:22:08.000 But, everyone has an area where they are specialized.

02:22:12.000 And that's one thing I think people have done a disservice.

02:22:13.000 Courtney just said it, but I know what she meant.

02:22:15.000 The idea that you can do anything you put your mind to.

02:22:18.000 That's true.

02:22:20.000 To a degree.

02:22:21.000 Obviously not like flight or invisibility.

02:22:24.000 Maybe one day.

02:22:25.000 I don't think so yet.

02:22:27.000 I haven't been to Area 51.

02:22:28.000 I've heard good things.

02:22:29.000 The point is...

02:22:31.000 What we don't tell kids is, listen, find your purpose.

02:22:34.000 Live in your purpose.

02:22:35.000 And you certainly won't hear that from the left.

02:22:38.000 The idea that anyone has a divine purpose or that people were put on this earth or designed for one specific thing, it runs entirely counter to the idea of socialism and the collective.

02:22:50.000 Ironically, it comes back around with extreme communism, right?

02:22:52.000 If you're born in China and you have the right body dimensions, You're going to be on the Olympic gymnastics team.

02:23:00.000 Don't expect a monthly cycle until you're 14, because they're going to keep your weight down and tie up your toes.

02:23:05.000 This is true.

02:23:06.000 They put an axe in your hand.

02:23:08.000 You're going to be manual labor.

02:23:10.000 You're going to be a scientist.

02:23:11.000 That's how they decide what you get to do.

02:23:13.000 So that flies in the face, of course.

02:23:14.000 The government decides.

02:23:15.000 Now government is God.

02:23:16.000 But the idea of socialism, that everyone takes part, that people should be equal.

02:23:20.000 Same thing, I was just speaking at American University.

02:23:23.000 They weren't allowed to play touch football.

02:23:24.000 That was an event for the club, and they said it was too competitive.

02:23:28.000 That is anti, not only anti-American exceptionalism, that is anti, I guess, deism for anyone who believes that you have some kind of a purpose.

02:23:36.000 So you can do anything you put your mind to, but here's what's important.

02:23:38.000 And this is what's lost in the self-esteem generation.

02:23:41.000 Take Michael Phelps, for example.

02:23:43.000 Greatest swimmer ever.

02:23:45.000 People look at him and go, well, he smokes weed and eats McDonald's, so I can too. 0.83

02:23:49.000 He is a freak. 0.99

02:23:49.000 No, listen. 0.99

02:23:51.000 He was designed in a way that is perfect, with hands the size of meat hooks and size 18 feet and long.

02:23:59.000 He was designed in a way where he would be the best regardless.

02:24:04.000 He's fantastic in spite of McDonald's and smoking weed.

02:24:07.000 Of course, he trained unbelievably hard.

02:24:09.000 So people just see the one thing, the McDonald's, and you say, well, if it's good enough for Phelps, look, look, look, look, and they're sipping their Dr.

02:24:15.000 Pepper.

02:24:16.000 That's not how it works.

02:24:17.000 Some of these athletes are fantastic in spite of their training, and sometimes you get that magic where someone is living in their purpose.

02:24:24.000 They're in exactly what they were designed to do, where they are brilliant, where they are good, and they work really hard.

02:24:30.000 You see that.

02:24:31.000 When you see that, it is a sight to behold.

02:24:33.000 Have you ever just seen someone?

02:24:35.000 And this is what's so important.

02:24:36.000 This is why men and women, you need to challenge yourselves every day.

02:24:39.000 I will tell you this, having done submission wrestling, it's a very physical endeavor.

02:24:43.000 I have rolled with people who are world champions.

02:24:46.000 And I'm decent.

02:24:48.000 And I've just had to accept, listen, no matter what I do, this person was created to do this.

02:24:54.000 I'm not going to be as good at them, even if I work as hard as I can, because I know this person is also working at this like a full-time job.

02:24:59.000 And that's okay, because I can find my purpose.

02:25:04.000 And so I think this is what's really removed.

02:25:05.000 We've talked about socialism and not only the moral and ethical aspect, but it strips humans, it strips you of the human essence.

02:25:15.000 Humans have this innate desire to belong, to be productive, to be useful, and to find the way in which they can do that most effectively.

02:25:24.000 Socialism says there is no way.

02:25:25.000 There is no purpose.

02:25:27.000 The purpose is all of us. 1.00

02:25:28.000 You're an amoeba. 0.62

02:25:29.000 You're not an individual. 0.99

02:25:31.000 And I think that's a big reason why it collapses.

02:25:33.000 You can't quantify it as something intangible that can't be put on paper.

02:25:37.000 But if you tell an entire nation of people you are all the same and none of you were created, none of you were fearfully and wonderfully created different from one another, so we're going to treat you the same and make everything equal, you strip them of the human spirit.

02:25:51.000 Don't let that happen.
